Haha 'walkintosh'. Anyways walkinshaw have different tips made out of billet and are stainless steel, so shouldn't rust. That's also just the muffler by the way.

These are walkinshaw mufflers

Yours look like aftermarket mild steel mufflers so no warranty of any sort on those. Mild steel rusts, stainless steel doesn't. If the rest of the exhaust is mild steel and your worried about rust then change over to a stainless steel one, stock ones are stainless.

Those mufflers look like stock mufflers from an SS, with some slip on tips added...
Stock SS mufflers are a dime a dozen....

Have a look on eBay, it will cost you more on shipping than it would to buy the mufflers...
Aftermarket mufflers tend to have some branding on them (Obviously the Walkinshaw mufflers do, and I know XForce mufflers do as well)...

SS mufflers are more box like. Those are definitely aftermarket ones. Berklee maybe?

they are certainly not walkinshaw ones, and i doubt that stock ones would rust quickly so early.
