How many miles on rebuild?
Exhaust pipes new or old?
Parked inside or out?

Florida does have high humidity and all.
sorry lots of questions

About 1,000 miles, the headers , h-pipe, and mufflers are new.
the exhaust pipes and tips are original. I keep it in the garage.

does it use much oil?
I'm guessing that the old pipes have carbon from old engine?
Humidity going through engine is cleaning old carbon out of pipes?
I don't know. How much stuff on floor are we talking?
