I would get BBK. I've heard nothing but good things about them. As fas as the coating starting to rust after a period of sitting, that goes for most ceramic coatings. The reason for this is bc the coating isnt completely cured until ran through several heat cycles.

yeah id go bbk. however for shorties you can either get unequal lengths which flow better than stock and install is easier. or theres the equal lengths which flow better than the unequals but the install is a little tougher.

Yes, mine are 2 years old and still look new. The ceramic coating also helps reduce the temp at the header.
