You got your sh*t backwards. Stainless steel are more money and will NOT rust. Ceramic Coated help keep temps down but will also rust from the inside out.

If your going to do LT headers, do American Racing. The fit and finish is perfect. This set-up also seems to smooth the car out. Changing to headers you will definitely feel a difference. I'm so glad I did this mod.

I had the Pypes LTs from Brenspeed on my GT, the fit and finish was very good. No fitment issues, they are VERY similar to the Kooks design.....
Here is a video of that set up, it had the Pypes LTs, high flow catted H pipe, and Borla/FRPP Stingers.... as well as Comp NSR Stage 2 cams (sorry about the video quality it got dark faster than i thought it would that night)

That sounds nice, how did the car feel after the LT/CAM?

The fit and finish was amazing! Full stainless steel so you will never have to worry about them rusting. Also they are sold in a package deal so you get the borla headers + the borla matching xpipe. I had it match my borla stinger axle backs and the car sounded so sick! I ordered them from lethalperformance.com
