They will if there Cast Iron or steel tube.
Assuming it's cast iron and the rust is surface rather than structural, run the engine until it's nice and hot then slap a few coats of neat Brasso on with an old paintbrush. Dries to a nice creamy colour and miles cheaper than any of the exhaust paints. Old trick.

Oh, sounds good. Time to tart up the Saabs manifold.

Nah, I'm wise to that, after a boost hose blew off, just as I'm acceleratig up a hill. Had to work really carefully to screw the hose clip back down, without touching the turbo. Still burnt myself a little though.
