Default Are TSP headers stainless?

Are they? If not, do they hold up to bad weather/salt?

No cermaic/steel headers will hold up well over time in bad weather/salt.

Makes no difference. carbon steel is carbon steel. I think Pacesetter makes TSP headers for them but dont quote me.

just wrap them so you wont see the rust. it would many years to rust through the header and damage it anyway. it just looks ugly so i say wrap it. it looks sweet. i have TSP 1 7/8" LTs and they are ceramic coated. just get a set of those. good price and awesome fit!! i had pacesetters and these fit just a lil bit tighter but slide in just as easily.
