They'll rust in about 2.5 seconds. That's about it. I think you have bigger fish to fy like those headers are not power makers. Don't know if you could call them a power restriction but you certainly won't gain anything.

i dropped .4 and gained 3 mph from them, they are plenty a bolt on/ cam only car
i ran them for 3 years without any issue, yeah they get ugly becuase of the lack of coating but so do all headers.

Well I started with them cuz that's what I had at the time. I could only manage 333 rwhp on the dyno with a 396. It was pretty sad. So I ditched them and got the Hookers. It was just my personal experience. Like you said though, it's a bolt on/cam car, mine was not.

yes i noticed a big difference, but be sure to wire your wires correctly so they do not hit the headers or go near them, i am encountering this problem so i have 7 cylinders at the moment until i find some high temp/coated wires or go with the high temp coating headers to solve this as well..
oh and to the post, you wont encounter any heating problems

I think they'll be pretty much ideal for my car. I'm going to put on a Borla catback in conjunction with this, and I might buy a high-flow cat. I might also do a few more simple mods such as an LT4 knock module.
