I just got my Pacesetters in 2 days ago. Hopefully the coating will stay fresh a few years until I need the stainless. I live in Memphis and all I'll deal with is rain (we use salt once every like 2 years, and if its THAT bad, I'm parking it 
).
).

Oh and pacesetter is supposed to have a 1 yr warranty on the headers if i am not mistaken so call them up and let them know.

And Pacesetter's warranty is only on their work, it specifically says it does NOT include the coating.

Mine have 'rust' on them, but not where its through the coating, its just a discoloration, some of it will wipe off.
Sucks to see your's went so bad, I drive mine alot, rain or shine, and I imagine mine will do that eventually aswell. Then I'll go stainless
jimmyblue has some good advice with the POR stuff, it does love rust, and holds up very nicely.
