Look i have told my story many many times...so i'll say it again.
coated headers rust!... i live in NY also.. my coated headers went in in march and a few months later they started to rust ..now they are at the point that they are starting to peel off ...

Stainless is the way to go!
Look at QTPs http://www.quicktimeperformance.com/ they are a sponsor here and make one of the best headers around. they have 2 different types, the regular longtube headers or the ultimate race headers with high speed merge collectors for ultimate power.
As soon as i get some cash QTPs here i come

Stainless is the better option out of the two. KOOKS and QTP's Longtubes are SL and I believe Hooker also came out with some SL headers also.
