rusting exhaust pipe

Does anyone know if coolant going out the tail pipe will corrode it????

there's soot in the pipe so it would take a long time to rust from the inside, but you shouldn't have coolant coming out of the tail pipe anyway

if you have anti freeze running in the tail pipe long enough to rust it you would have other engine failure by now. my guess is pipe just wasn't aluminized pipe so it rusted quikley. or you may be getting excessive condensation in the exhaust system due to partially plugged converter.

exaust pipe

Not don't think so. Coolant loss has been on since new. The converter isn't pluged ??? because took the pipe off some time ago and didn't make a difference.
