Default ceramic coated headers

How long will these go without rusting through, in the incredibly humid state of Florida? I need some headers to last approx. 7 years I'm thinking stainless is the way to go, but the Pacesetter's are so much cheaper I just had to ask.

Thanks.

I just installed pacesetters. Before i installed them, i put on 2 coats of REJEX. its like a sealant or wax for boats and lasts at least 6 months. it should help some.

I have SLP Long Tubes that are about 1 year old, and they look the day they were installed. No Bluing, nothing but shine. They look like they're going to wear forever, but they do hang lower than most, and I wouldn't recommend them for lowered suspensions.

I take it the GTO wasn't the current model but one from "back in the day"? If it was a newer model it certainly hasn't been the seven years he is asking for just yet.

I have jet hot ceramic coated headers up here in the rust belt and they are all rusted on the lower half, have been since the first winter. They shouldn't rust through anytime soon though.
