No stainless exhaust pipe????

I had a look under my (new to me) 2013 SRX and the exhaust pipe looked rusty.
The two mufflers were not rusty. I thought that these days all cars had stainless
exhaust systems.

I did notice one entry in the "build list" thread where stainless exhaust was listed
as an option.

I wonder how long the exhaust pipe can last. Has anyone had one rust out?

Thanks,
Pete.

My 2012 looks rusty on the surface but is far from rusting out. Most of the rust is on the connection to the front cat and the other pipe-to-can transitions. The pipes might be stainless but the mufflers are just galvanized.
The quality of the stainless it probably not the best because the rust is slowly appearing on the pipes. I've seen much better and also worse exhausts than the SRX.
