Nismo cat-back stainless?
I just got the cat for my 2.5 from the dealer and I noticed the pipes look kind of yellow. Isn't nismo exhaust suppose to come in stainless steel?

can you take some pics....they might be defective, they are supposed to be stainless (or probably not)

Mine has minor spots of oxidation as well, but non around the chrome parts.
I think its normal. Its no surprise if some dust was stuck to the metal and oxidized right on top of the stainless steel (especially if the exhaust become moist from the shipping).
If you're really worried, just sand it off and constantly check on it to see if the rust comes back. If it starts to reappear, sand off the rust and spray it with some anti rust paint. No one is going to look at the pipes under the car so don't worry if it looks ugly. Just make sure the chrome parts are nice.
