For the cost of my uncoated pacesetters, I could by 3 or 4 sets for the price of one set of good stainless. So if mine last 3 years, another set of mild steel will be going on. If you've seen my car you know I care about performance over looks hahahah

Plus after I lower it, I wont want to shoot my self the first time I try and rip my headers off. If there were stainless I would be a bit more angry.

Got kooks headers and they still look like the day they were new....

Idk if I'd ever go stainless, cuz after you run them for awhile, they turn all discolored and blue-ish. I looked at some headers that have been on a 73 camaro for about 4 yrs now with the eastwood paint, and they still look awesome. BTW can I run an egr pipe to the passenger side header from a 95 lt1? because the headers have a "football style" fitting: http://shbox.com/1/EGR_pipe.jpg on the back for the EGR pipe, and the one on my car is a screw in type: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images...g/sr=1......OR should I just do an EGR delete?

that stainless discolor from the heat is AWESOME!

but Id find out if they were brand new and only on his car for 4 months vs he bought them used and had them on for 4 months because mine didnt start rusting til after a year and even after a year it very minimal

They were brand new I know the kid, hes one of my brothers friends, but Im just surprised at how bad they were, I mean they did sit in his garage for about two years too.......

it's very easy to remove the discoloration from ss headers.

yeah get them coated or painted... lol

I redid mine last year after being up in Mass I had the same issues. But now Iam down in florida so they still pretty nice.

I too like that discoloration that stainless headers get. I have a pot that looks like that cause I cooked some rice with the burner on 10 and it was supposed to be at 1. The smoke detector pointed out my error.

I'm also a fan of the color they turn, err discoloration. Still to expensive for my cheap ass still. If I have a show worthy car perhaps ill go stainless.
