The exhaust on my '89 Dakota Convertible completely rusted through and I need a new manifold y-pipe and cat intermediate pipe.
There doesn't seem to be any aftermarket stainless replacements and I'm a DIY guy, so custom pipes at a shop is no good. I'm stuck with a mild steel Walker replacement (unless you think Fed-Mog or another comp. is better).
My question is, can I paint my new pipes to prevent rusting? I'm especially considering a high-temp VHT or Por-15 paint.

Has anyone tried this? Is this going to stop rust or is this a waste of time and money?
