Default Which headers for a Daily Driver in San Antonio??

Hey all...its come down to that time when I need to get rid of the shorties and get some Longtubes. I have been looking and am wondering if I should get jethots since they are decently cheap and are guaranteed against corrosion for the lifetime of the headers or go the cheaper route and go for Pacesetters. (I live in San Antonio and there isnt too much rain down here and snow is a myth most of the time). Should I do one of the two or save up and get stainless headers? Be aware this is for a daily driver and I want the headers to last 2 to 3 years or more. Any advice will be greatly appreciated, I have researched and want something that will do good in my climate, set up, and my use of the car daily. Thanks

-Phil

If you get jet hots..(like I did )
then just be sure to get their 2000 series coating...its only like $25 extra from their normal coatng, and it will hold up better.
I have it on mine....mines a daily driver, and even with the wierd weather here in KC they still look like new.
they also went in easier than any other header I have installed so far...
