Anyone have these for a while? Notice any rust, scratches or stains?

One cap developed a little flaw in it, looked like a tiny scratch/crack in the finish. they shipped me a new one in less than a week, no questions asked. they've been flawless since. and their response to the issue was excellent

had them for 8 months and 5000 miles

Wondered the same. I see alot of the older black end caps that end up a black/purple color. I'd hate for the whole body of the muffler turn that color.

The old style were anodized and I believe the new caps are powder coated. The muffles are ceramic coated.
