Default Calling all Kooks owners

Looking to see how your Kooks y-pipes are holding up. I am a little concerned with spending $500 on a non stainless steel y-pipe. Anyone have any problems or are they holding up well?

Are you sure? When did you buy it? I'm being told they are all mild steel.

Haven't installed it yet! I really didn't want to go aluminized...I wanted to keep it all stainless. I'm either going to ceramic coat the Y-pipe or I may just paint it with some VHT high-temp...
