How and where is this rusted bolt and why do the pipes look like mild steel?
I assume heat cycling caused the rusted bolt, fairly common on these from what I understand. The bolt is up where the heat collector elbow attaches. As for the color of the pipes I would say heat cycling as well. A once over with a wire wheel would clean these right up I would think.
