If you just start it up and let it run a little while, you will get condensation build-up in the exhaust pipes for sure. Without stainless steel, you'll get a nice breeding ground for rust. The trick is to blow it out by revving the motor or taking it for a good 20 min drive so that the condensation build-up burns off the pipes.

Good catch, Getto.
