Default PPC Headers

Does anyone hear have PPC long-tube headers with the ORY or a catted Y on their car? I was taking a look at them on the PPC website. They're new on the market and based on the groty design. They seem really expensive and don't say what they're made out of. It only says that they are ceramic coated. Any help or reviews on this one?

I don't think they're stainless steel, just coated mild steel which could rust in time...look at the QTPs as well, they ARE 304 stainless.

I live in a dry part of New Mexico so rust isn't an issue. I am leaning towards the QTP headers even though quite a few people have had issues with the fitment of the y-pipe.

I have the PPCs and they are great. I wouldn't worry about rust on these things. You can take a vice grip to the coating and twist and turn and it doesn't even affect the coating. It is extremely durable.

They come with everything you need for installation including all new GM gaskets, bolts, and O2 extensions....the complete package.
They sound incredible as well..
You get what you pay for. I'm extremely happy with mine.
If you do a search for 'PPC' i'm sure you'll find the thread I started last week after I installed them.

LOL, I thought you were referring to the fitment.
