Default cutout installed.

I just got my cutout installed yesterday and it sounds nice however when the car was on the lift I noticed some parts under the car was rusting. I took the car out for 2 days during the winter when my DD broke down and I am amazed how fast everything rusted.
luckily the only parts with rust were the Exhaust, Sway Bars, and LCAs all of which are going to be replaced at some point in time. Damn midwest and the salt on their roads.

My ceramic coating held up fine. I drove the TA all winter long. It has some rust by the collector because they been scraped a bit. Other than that the rest of the headers are fine.
