I thought that the Amuse header was not ti?! I thought that it was very thin steel. Am I incorrect on that?

there are no Ti manifold for our cars.

it's steel. and yes, steel will rust.

It should be stainless steel, which shouldn't rust. It's likely surface rust (contaminants get stuck on the surface, and those contaminants form rust), which you can remove.
