someone told me that oem exhaust have a 409? type of metal meaning that yes the exterior will rust from salt etc, but the inside will not

I don't mean to divert the attention of this thread away from the rusty fluid.
Here's the pic...I have my 25 000 km service oil change coming up. Should I bring this up?
I have noticed the pipe that connects the two exhausts is REALLY rusted, well for a ~1 year old car...I will post pics, but can u guys get under and look at your car too? maybe its juts me. I'm in Ontario Canada, just finishing the worst amount of snow in history or something lol....

I agree, have them check it out. If anything, you will have statement on your service record. So, if there is an early failure, the rust was noted in your service history.

While not preferable, it is normal...I have it on my IS350.
Also, it comes off if I wipe it...

the warranty covers perforation not surface rust, I kinda figured it was like that. I will be sure to spray the undercarriage a lot more next winter...It better not be as brutal as the one I just hibernated through
