I have a 4 month old SMA exhaust system and the
tips are rusting. I live in New York w/ salty
wintery roads but that really no excuse I
thought this system was stainless steel. Sounds
like a crock of sh*t to me. Does anyone have
this same problem ?

SMA was selling a Billy Boat system. Contact Billy Boat and they should help you out, especially being that SMA is no longer around.

Doubt it. SMA held the warranty - not Billy Boat.

the tips on mine have changed to a bronze color, but no rust. The system is stainless, so it's not going to rust. Post a pic.

OK, someone needs to learn to post pics.
RESIZE!
Anyhow, I took a scotchbright pad to my tips. That is the only part that had rust.
Next I took OOO to blend the scratches better.
They now have a brushed look to them and no more rust. I would not suggest this system to anyone considering due to the qaulity of the tips. The sound is OK, but does have some interior drone. I have heard the Borla and like it better. Not sure if the Borla has rust issues though.

I owned a set set of Borlas on my last vehicle and the chrome tips were awesome. No rust issues.
