Not really, but I am thinking of the reason the rust is in there. Do you tend to take short rides and shut the bike down before it reaches normal running temperature for a period of time? Combustion water ruins exhaust systems in bikes, and cars, for that reason.

sittin off a bike for some time
its for some headers and exhaust, i found that a friend of mine has that i was thinking of trying to see if i could make a custom exhaust for my bike. they were off the bike and in a shed and had been out there for some time and when i picked them up you could hear the rust shakin around, and when i turned them over some rust fell out of them.

I used Metal Rescue on a somewhat rusted gas tank and it did a great job cleaning it up. You could seal one end of the pipes and pour it in the other and seal it to let it work its magic.Life is what happens while your planning everything else!
When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.

The only problem will be seeing inside enough to know when it is finished working. I'd say give it 12 hours or so if it is really bad.Life is what happens while your planning everything else!
