Rusty Exhaust pipe

Hi!

I have bought my 2003 P5 for 4 months now. I noticed the lower part of the tip of my exhaust pipe already have rust on it. Where I live always have snow and rain.
Is this normal?
Or I need to doing something about it?

I've got the same something similar. I noticed this after I was sitting in the car idling for a while on a very cold day. I don't think it's rust but a stain on the chrome. Believe it's condensation from exhaust gasses, hope it'll burn off when it gets warmer.

My exhaust pipe is rusted as well, but i'm not talking about a little rust, i'm talking about Rust big time!

I've had my '02 Pro LX for about 9 months now. I've kinda caused the rusting myself. I was stupid enough to put a chrome exhaust tip over the stock pipe, kinda like the P5 and ES models have. But the tip seemed a little rusted after awhile, and when I went to take it off yesterday, the whole inside of the tip was rusted and caused my stock pipe to rust too.

Does anyone know if the Mazda warranty covers rusting? Is the rusting of the pipe something I should be worried about?
