I am looking at buying some QTP headers and I was wondering if they stay looking as polished as they do new for a long time or not

 

stainless after a few heat cycles start to change colors. theyll be a light purple in some spots and goldish in others, and still polished looking in other spots. still better than rust though

 

what rallye said. i have qtp headers on my car, under the car the headers are dirty, between the engine and body they are purple/gold, and under the hood, if you wipe them down, they get some sheen back but not the shine they had when new.

 

Ok so I know there are alot of threads on here about this but would you go with stainless or ceramic coated headers?

 

Stainless!!!!!!!!!!!

 

stainless, youll NEVER have to worry about rust if you do that. ever.

 

Thanks alot for all the input. I've always had ceramic coated and they never last!!!!!!

 

I have them and they are a lot better than rusty prone headers

 

ive had mine for over 2 years and still look great. car is a dd in all weather.

 

Here's Kook's after a few years, never polished, just bare stainlees.

 

Wow those look great for a couple of years old. Think I will definitely be goin stainless!!!

 

My QTP's stilll look great.
