Default Are TSP headers stainless?

Are they? If not, do they hold up to bad weather/salt?

No cermaic/steel headers will hold up well over time in bad weather/salt.

just wrap them so you wont see the rust. it would many years to rust through the header and damage it anyway. it just looks ugly so i say wrap it. it looks sweet. i have TSP 1 7/8" LTs and they are ceramic coated. just get a set of those. good price and awesome fit!! i had pacesetters and these fit just a lil bit tighter but slide in just as easily.
