Default Jet Hot or ceramic coated Headers rusting?

I've seen some posts of east coast guys saying their Jet Hot or ceramic coated headers are rusting. Is this a problem here in California? My car won't be driven in the rain or snow. California guys please chime in and let me know how your headers are holding up. I like the Jet hot look, especially since it doesn't change color. What do the stainless headers look like after some time on them?

I had Hooker LT's coated by JetHot and they rusted in less than 20 months. My car was driven in the rain at times. I ended up ditching them and went with Stainless. 304 Stainless Steel turns a brown color as it ages.
