Never heard of Kurust I am assuming this is a rust repellent, could be alright but might not work on the Catalytic Convertor having had Hammerite put on in error in the past it may do the same and just burn off. It might work though.

When I got back home wire brushed all joint/welds and sprayed with High Temp exhaust paint. Still looking good
