I've had lots of experience with exhausts in the rust belt.
OEM steel ones can rust suprisingly fast. Some manufacturers use higher grade steels with chromium added, but steel used in entry-level cars (Versa) tend to have exhausts made of lower grade steel.
Auto parts store exhaust pieces are also usually made of low grade steel to keep the price low, but cat-backs and higher end stainless systems, although pricey, can last and last.
I had an exhaust made by Stebro once and it was of unbelievable quality. Almost a shame to bolt it underneath the car.
