how old is your truck?In late March I had my third free, guaranteed for life exhaust system installed in my pick-up truck. All it cost me was the labor.
I don't think I've ever replaced one, but we don't get snow which I'm guessing has something to do with lifespan of the exhaust system for Dashmellow since it snows heavily where he livesI have only replace a exhaust system once ( in 1993 on my 1986 Opel ) though by the time i sold it ( 1998 ) it was on the way out again as the stainless Remus exhaust had rusted thru.
I was also expecting remarks on my current car when it was inspected a few months ago, but nothing.
Cool weather and short journeys kills them, it allows water to condense inside the pipes and then not evaporate again, the pools of water inside the warm pipes then cause them to rust through. If it is properly cold then they rust slower, and once the water freezes they stop rusting. They almost always rust from the inside out.I don't think I've ever replaced one, but we don't get snow which I'm guessing has something to do with lifespan of the exhaust system for Dashmellow since it snows heavily where he lives
aware of what short trips does to them, was thinking of whatever it is they spray on the roads where it snows, have seen photos of the underbody of vehicles from places where it snows and rust is common, we don't get that here so not something we need to deal with, if the exhaust is mild steel they won't last either, every car I've had for the last 20+ years has had stainless steel exhaust systems, they seem to last a lot longer to begin withCool weather and short journeys kills them, it allows water to condense inside the pipes and then not evaporate again, the pools of water inside the warm pipes then cause them to rust through.

That doesn't seem to have much effect on the exhaust because even on a short journey it gets warm enough to dry on the outside, it is the inside that always rusts. Stainless exhausts solve the problem, but I think most of our cars still come with mild steel because that keeps the dealers in business!aware of what short trips does to them, was thinking of whatever it is they spray on the roads where it snows,
