EH.... no... do it right the first time! QTP!!! Stainless steel. This way you won't have to replace your "coated" header after a few years of regular use (if it gets driven in rain or snow) because the chipped coating starts to rust.

If it ever sees rain or snow... it WILL rust. No way around it.

Bought the QTP so I didn't have to worry about rust. But the majority of people are having good luck with coated Pacesetters.
