What I could see of the headers was painted mild steel.. Probably not that nice or strong enough to last too long with vibration and turbo weight.

Yes if they are so good why did they just fog them with header paint?

I like cast manifolds for durability but a high quality stainless header can hold up too... In fact that is likely what I will be running..

oem use them as they are reliable, compact, easily manufactured. And they dont cost much when mass produced, but can still be effective.
