Unless you're worried about everything looking pretty, coated/stainless exhaust behind the headers seems like a waste of money. Regular mild steel is still going to last a long, long time.

I have 4 year old uncoated pacesetter headers and ory, theres not a speck of rust anywhere on the collector or y.

Same with my Z28, 2 years no rust on the Edelbrock ory.

As long as they're aluminized, I have some bare steel pipe under my truck that looks pretty bad.

My uncoated ORY looks fine, though I don't daily drive the car so it never sees rain or salt.
