Hey all, I have a 2002 L with 15000 miles on it and upon cleaning her up the other day I noticed that at the end of my exhaust right where it connects to the tip there are two holes that have developed, it just looks like it rusted out or something. Its actually mostly on the left pipe but there is a little starting on the right also. Is this normal for this new of a truck? and do you think its something that should warrant a trip to the dealer? Oh by the way its the stock exhaust I havent switched it out yet. Thanks I appreciate the help.

 

Mine had a bunch of leaks and rust spots with about 30K miles on it. Finally I couldn't take the sound of the exhaust leaks anymore so I put on the JDM full length headers and exhaust.

 

well there's a 1500-2000 $ option for fixing exhaust leaks

 

i doubt ford will cover it.
Is it rusting on the weld that holds the tip to the pipe? if so it is common. you can put phosphorus on it that will nuetralize the rust and then a high temp paint to protect it.

Sounds like it's time for a SS catback
