Black Painted Headers My car is a DD, so I am not looking to go ***** out as far as buying the most expensive parts...I live in Chicago, so the car sees rain, snow, etc. If I were to get black painted headers, about how long would they last before they become completely rusted through? Would I be able to get at least 2 years out of them?

weird...i just don't want exhaust leaks after less than a year from holes or anything...my car won't be a show car until after I finish school...after i finish school, the motor, trans, and rear are being pulled and then car is being put into the garage while i pick up a decent DD and can turn this into the beast it deserves...for now, I want decent power on a budget...

if you see snow in that car youll see the rust starting to build up in a matter of months....
but if you mean rust till they are unusable i believe theyll last u as long or longer than stock.
ill buy stainless steel header bolt since that is one of the first places i noticed rust.
in california my bros ceramic coated have rust spots coming out and only has about 1 year on em..

They are not going to rust all the way through. I mean, its entirely possible that they could, but that would be a very long time.
You can always get them coated later. A couple of days in a container with water, baking soda, and an electrical charge will strip them down to bare metal and you can have them coated.
The ebay headers are nice headers. I have them but you will need to do some cutting on the k member.
