i know just about everyone in here says the best hp gains for the money is long tube headers. i do not want headers that rust. i know they offer stainless steel, chrome, polished chrome, ceramic coated and so on. what will rust and what will not? question # 2. what type of headers do yall run and why you picked that specific brand and finish with the price. thanks in advance!

 

if your on a budget get mac or bbk

ALL HEADERS WILL RUST...just a matter of how long it takes for them to start.
ceramics are proble your best best for the all around good performing/ lasting header.

 

+1 on ceramics, for longevity

 

I thought stainless steel doesn't rust. Don't they make them in SS?

 

all metal will rust, SS is just more resistant than others to rust

 

That sucks! I'd sue the bastards for false advertising A rust is a stain, so then that wouldn't be considered stainless now would it?

 

ceramic. i got shorties but only cause i was a jackass and didnt read up on anything befor buying them. if i could do it again i would get longtubes. get longtubes

 

lol yup ss is a sham!

 

rust is not a "stain" its corrosion of the metal. thats why metal can rust all the way through, stains can't cause holes.

 

I have MAC HTS coated longtubes. I sanded them when I got them and resprayed them with High temp paint. Cost me $4 and not a spec of rust in over 2 years. Plus side is you can make them any color you wantI chose just flat silver like they came.
