Default Coating on headers

I am about to order a set of kooks lt's and was wondering if it is worth it to get them coated? I have seen some pics of them without coating and they look awesome, just wondering if the performance is worth it. Thanks.

Really depends on where you live and how much you drive the car. If you live in the midwest where they dump tons of salt on the roads and its you daily driver, then yes the coating will help out. If you plan on storing it for the winter and dont dd it everday then that choice is up to you.

Its worth it imo, just so you wont have to replace them in a couple years due to rusting, but honesty stainless is the way to go. Its a bit pricey, but its toatlly worth it.

Kooks are stainless.

Getting them ceramic coated will still help cut down under hood temperatures, so yes it's still worth it.
If you go with the ceramic coating ($140-$165), you'll probably get the headers for a better price at Marylandspeed.com .
