The only way you\'re going to avoid rust is by using an exhaust that\'s made from a metal that doesn\'t rust i.e. titanium, but thats pretty damn expensive. A stainles steel exhaust will last a long time because it\'s resistant to corrosion but if you wrap stainless steel it holds in the moisture and causes it to deteriorate, that\'s why I didn\'t wrap my midpipe and catback.

I used this stuff to wrap my downpipe http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Exhaust-Wrap-1-x-50_W0QQitemZ8074032006QQcategoryZ36680QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem, I think TRex provided a link to the manufacturers website a few posts back.

And I used some metal snap-straps to hold down the wrap at each end of the pipe.

Thermotec also do some sealer stuff that you spray onto the wrap which seals up the pours etc. but I didn\'t bother using it.

Rixio - Sorry mate they never turned up, god knows what happened to them. Did you never hear anything back for the couriers?
