Unhappy 2006 Mustang rusting parts Helps!

I'm a little freak out right now. couple parts in my engine and under the car are rusting. I don't know a lot about car, so any advice on this issue would be very appreciated. I attach some pictures on the rust parts...

P.S I was thinking to take it the the dealer and let them look at it!

That is completely normal. Other than the exhaust manifolds & water pump pulley, if it really bothers you, you can wire brush the parts and hit them with some flat black Rustoleum.

I believe that's all normal. Mine is a 2005 and (mostly) garage-kept and it looks exactly the same. It's because of the type of metal used.

A car right off the Ford delivery trailer will look the same.

Headers and exhaust always rust because they get too hot to put rust proofing solvent on them

Mine looks the same. The dealership sprayed it with some undercoating stuff when I bought it, but I don't think it was necessary..

move to a dry(er) state. texas, arizona... then wire brush, try to cover with rustoleum and act happy. noone will ever get away from all rusting no matter what, unles you rid the car of it all and keep it in an air tight bubble with no humidity or moisture what so ever. its rust under your car. get over it.

I did wire brush the axle and paint it with rustoleum. Looks much better.
