or is there some better way to make this look good without changing the whole exhaust system.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

The exhaust of my 00' C2 is rusty, what kind of paint do you guys suggest? or is there some better way to make this look good without changing the whole exhaust system.
A great deal of effort to paint the exhaust. As long as the tips look good I wouldn't waste my time on a part that is not visible and undergoes a great deal of use.
They look that way pretty much to begin with. I really wouldn't worry about it. In the rare event that you spring an exhaust leak just get a polished stainless system.
I personally think it looks great:
Plus SUPPOSEDLY it improves performance. The ceramic coating keeps the outside cool, & makes the hot fuels inside draw out quicker. Don't know if that's true or not, but like I said, it looks great anyway. It also improves sound, & this I do know because I've heard the same exhaust on a 997S with & without ceramic coating.
Either way, for a little DIY & like $10 on paint, go for it. I'm definetely doing it.
I think it looks great too, but tell me that the car isn't being jacked up by the oil pan!?! If that's the case, a rusty exhaust system will be the least of his worries!
Lol, that's only if you paint the INSIDE. You shouldn't be painting the inside of your exhaust anyway, for many other reasons aside from the O2 sensor.
Painting the outside causes no problems at all, unless you consider no rust, clean/sporty look, better exhaust flow, sound, & cooling a bad thing.
