It looks like it has been used with standard stainless. Much like our stock mufflers and piping. It will develop surface rust. I would wait to see who else chimes in, or at least take it to the dealer.

FYI- yours is the first "mopar" exhaust I have ever seen...

everyones has rust under their jeeps. if you don't have any rust then I would say its abnormal. rust isn't going to hurt.
