I did answer it. It's inevitable. Try soapy water.

If it's down by the collector where they are underneath the car I'd just forget about it. To my knowldege you can't stop it.

You could try just using some grey high temp paint and spraying over it might slow down the surface rust.

There's no way to prevent it.
You might try scuffing it off w/steel wool or something then using high temp paint on it.

yeah and then the high temp paint is gonna flake off in 3 months. I had a set of use hooker headers on my car when I bought them I sandblasted them and then repainted with high temp and it was gone in 3 months.
