I know what they are talking about.
It was the only pic of my headers that I had. And you must be seeing things because there is no rust on my headers. Trust me.

Plus the stainless on the SLPs is the cheaper, rusting 403 stainless if I recall, not the better quality 304 stainless of the QTPs, though that coating will help matters.
I would never put SLP LTs on my car unless they were free.

I installed my Hooker headers the same day as the major blackout that hit the northeast. This is what they look like about 7 months later. I guess it could be attributed to something other than the coating b/c the primaries at the heads are not quite this bad. I looked at them this weekend b/c of the previous thread. I also noticed while down there that one of my primaries was rubbing my k-member on the driver's side at some point. There was only a little gap between the header and the k-member during installation which I thought would be enough. I know now that it wasn't enough clearance, but it was nothing a dremel could not handle. If you have Hooker or Jet Hots I would check and make sure you have no clearance issues on the driver's side.

Seems like its more of a regional thing. Hell, I had non-coated MAC headers on my first LS1 f-body for about 2 years and when I removed them to sell, they still looked great and had no rust.
I also had some non-coated FLPs, and coated Dynatechs, and still no rust on those either.
