Nameless Axleback Single Wall from RSD - DO NOT BUY

[Capt_Hindsight]

I ordered the Namless Axleback Muffler Delete Single Wall 3.5 inch Tips from RallySportDirect. Had them installed for just one week and the tips are already starting to rust. What a waste of money. I should have known better and just spent more money on a quality full CBE from an established company.

Also, I tried to submit a new review on RallySportDirect warning others. But, of course, that one is not being approved and posted. While my original review that was positive was posted immediately.

EDIT: RallySportDirect contacted me to resolved the issue. They didn't want to post the negative review because they want to give Nameless a chance to help resolve the issue. RSD has exceptional customer service.


So, if you're thinking about buying this Axleback from RSD or even the official Nameless site, please save your money and don't be suckered like I did. This is embarrassing for me to even say but I wanted to warn others. Have a nice day.

I just ordered this yesterday, can you post pics? And have you tried to contact them?

OP: PM me a price if you cannot return the product or they try to charge you a stupid amount to return them. Tips don't matter to me as I'd replace them anyways.

Honestly, before you go posting negative stuff regarding Nameless.....you should contact either rally or nameless and see what they have to say. I know for fact that both companies stand behind there product. Innocent til proven guilty. I think you're a little quit w the negative. I bet you haven't contacted anyone have you?

I didn't because of their no return policy for installed exhaust parts. But they contacted me.

So, I will go on the record saying RallySportDirect DOES stand by their products and has exceptional customer service.

I bought a metal scrub brush to remove the rust and some "Rust-Oleum Crystal Clear Enamel Spray" to try to prevent more rust. I haven't used the spray yet because there's a heat range limit which makes me scared to use it. More rust WILL form if I don't use the spray. It only took a week for the first rust to form. Pictures will be posted.

Call me a liar all you want - but pictures will be posted. And what do I get out of lying about this? I had no intention of asking for a refund. Why would I want to bash a company if I liked the product? I was just simply trying to warn others to not buy the SINGLE WALL. The double wall will not rust like this because the edges of the pipes are not exposed.

A little brown discoloration is not uncommon with stainless steel, especially in rainy or snowy areas. It usually forms right at the end of the tip where they are cut. Typically a little polish will take it right off. The tips can also get brown spots caused by heat.

All of my exhausts have done this in the winter time, and I just polish it off now and then with mag polish.

I would have to see some pictures to know if this is the case, but considering Nameless uses quality stainless steel on their exhaust systems, I am going to assume that is what your seeing.

Yes! That's exactly where it was! Right on the tip where the cut is. Unfortunately, because I know rust is like cancer to metal, I used the metal scrub brush and removed it immediately. So, I won't be able to produce pictures until this happens again. Which should be tomorrow since it's going to rain. This DID happen right after we had snow in the area. So, it's normal? Do you recommend that I use this to treat the area: http://www.walmart.com/ip/17011172?w...l5=pla&veh=sem?

The maximum heat range for that spray is 200 degrees F - will the tips get that hot? I don't auto cross or anything.

How much do you think it will cost me to ship my axleback to them, have them powder coat it and then ship it back to me?

I can't justify spending more than the $300 I already have. I told myself from the beginning if I had to spend more than that I would either get the muffler replacements or a full CBE.

But do you imagine the tips will get hotter than 200 degrees F? I think this clear coat enamel just on the edges of the tips will do the trick.

200 degrees? hmm..im not totally sure. Honstely...call Jason @ 360-263-5001 he will more then happy to help/answer any and all questions you will have.

where do you live? did you check locally for a powder coater? i cant see tips costing more then 75 bucks....def worth it. for what its worth...this is one reason why i went with the 3.5" double wall tips. not a true fan of the single wall. for the record...did you contact RSD? if so what was there response? I know nameless will stand behind there product! please keep us posted.

I would not use that spray .. your tips get hotter than 200 degs.

Overall I think your just getting worked up over nothing. Quality stainless steel does not rust, and Nameless does not use cheap metal to my knowledge. The discoloration your seeing is from hot/cold temperature fluctuations on the tips, and exposure to the elements. Even if left alone, the brown spots would get larger, but never form into rust like you see on a chunk of steel.

I would also avoid using the metal brush to remove it, that might leave scratches on the tips. Just go buy some mag wheel polish and rub the brown spots off now and then. They polish out pretty easily if you do it regularly.
