Default Stainless Steel Headers

I have BBK ceramics and the car sat for a little while they got all pitted and rusty so I want to get a new set. I saw some companys have stainless steel ones so wanted to know if anyone has had them and if they hold up. Looks are very important to me cause i show it alot. Thanks

I couldn't even find long tubes for my car on their site, their product search is poor to say the least.

I went with a set of cheap no-name brand 1 5/8 stainless shorties off ebay.
They were nicely welded, bolted in easily and fit perfectly. (better than any other shorties I've used)
They have some blueing and yellowing from heat, but it actually looks cool.
Knowing they will never rust is what I found so appealing about them because I show my car alot also.
I recommend going with stainless, hands down.
