I'm bummed...
I just got under my car to take a look for some reason, I don't know why exactly, and what do I see? The coating on my pacesetters is peeling off already on the passenger side header . On the bottom of it the coating is getting that bubble look to it (like on the edge of an older car where it is rusting) and there is a 1 inch diameter rusty spot... I can't believe that is happening already. I just put them on late last summer and they only have a couple thousand miles on them at all. I didn't drive it through the winter either... I'm just kinda frustrated... lol. How long do i have before that rusty looking stuff goes through and turns into a leak?

Here's a pic I took with my phone earlier.... The engine is towards the top of the picture and the edge there is the edge of the collector. It actually looks kinda black in this picture, but it looked rusty to me...

That does suck. I agree, you should definitely do something to prevent it from progressing. If you do it right, it shouldn't get any worse. I just used Naval Jelly on some really rusty parts recently, and I was surprised that it took off all the rust and brought it back to shiny metal, you might want to try that to start with.

I just looked under there again. Only a couple hundred miles more than before, if that. The area has just about doubled that is peeled off... I would really like to spray it with something like ONEBADASSWS6 said. Or do anything to make it stop really.
