Headers are going to rust if they get wet, period. Salt will greatly enhance this effect. I have Jet-hots which are the same design and ceramic coated with Jet-hot's coating and they got pretty rusty within a year and I didn't even drive it over the first winter they were on there. I mean I seriously didn't, I even left the nittos on all winter and it left the garage like three times cause I coudn't easily park it at school and the insurance break was nice. The only way to really avoid it, IMO, is to go with the best of the best and get some stainless kooks/qtps.

Pacesetters are good for the money, but I still see Hooker as having better quality. Pacestters should do you just fine though.

They will rust, mine have been on for three months now and I have no rust yet. Probley because I dont drive it in the rain and Iam in cali. The rust is only going to be cosmetic, meaning that the headers will not rust all the way through. Well at least they will last past the life of your car. Pacesetters are a excellant header for the price, they slip right in and definitly worth the money.

How do the pace setters sound 3" y with a flow on the back? Do they have a hella nice sound or is it a pus sound?? I would really like a deep humm.

Headers are all going to sound about the same. Macs are known to rasp but any equal length LT header should have a very similer sound if the rest of the exhaust is the same. Are you asking about the sound with a flowcrapper?

ya i have dual chamber flowcrapper

It would probably sound pretty nice. Might want to put a cutout on there or do a run with it bypassed in some way and see how restrictive it is though.
