Exhaust discolouration normal?

Hi all :)

 

I went to view a new zed that I'm considering buying of a private buyer.

 

But I noticed that the stainless steel exhaust back box has some discolouration.. Is this something to worry about ?

 

Sorry for the bad quality image, taken from awkward angle.

My guess is that those darker splodges will polish out after 10 mins with some autosol, but the lighter shading almost looks like its burnt. Wonder if its a cheaper exhaust, Chrome plated or something.

 

I could of course be totally wrong. You would look a bit mad turning up to view a car and insisting on polishing the exhaust, but if the seller wants to sell...

That looks like an aftermarket back box. Looks like it has corroded round the center of the rear section where the silencer material is. My scorpion discoloured slightly like this but nowhere near as bad. They replaced it free under there lifetime warranty.
