I fell like they would have to be on the right car, I think they would look nasty on a rat-rod.

its not only about looks trust me ive been down the road of buying a cheap set of headers then i had to go out and buy a new set when they rotted to shit. In the end your saving money just buying a nice set of expensive stainless headers rather than having to keep replacing rotted ones. At least i was smart this time around and got Kooks cause i sure as shit am not buying another set of headers lol

500 bucks? I got mine new for well under 300. Pacesetter LTs with no emissions. Mine are almost 2 years old i think, and really don't think they have more then surface rust. No leaks yet.

Headers rarely rot from the outside. Usually rot from the inside. A good way to see how weak they are is take some water pump pliers and squize em. If they squish easy there junk.

condensation as the exhaust cools and then reheats. and i bet your headers were just as rotted on the inside as they were on the outside maddie. thats also how alot of "coated" headers rot out. What a Gimmick.

These were ceramic coated, I hope that theyre not rotted on the inside. They were only on his car for 4 months, so I would hope not lol
