Thats what it must have been. I was told that they were stainless steel. I bought them used. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

MY FLP headers are mild stell coated with silver stuff. They are now rusting after about 1.5 years. Consequently, I would prefer stainless like SLP headers.

People here told me to avoid them since I don;t have a lift and installation of the SLPs are a nightmare...

I bought some other SLP parts like an airbox that does not fit; consequently, I would be careful of this place. Besides they are now a Mustang shop.
