No rusting from mine other than where I scraped coating off on the underside, but I don't drive it daily and don't hardly ever drive it in wet weather, so I'm probably not a good data point for you. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Get SLP or QTEC SS headers. The downside to the QTEC is they do not come coated. Steel is going to rust, coated or not.

SS has a lower thermal conductivity than steel and mild steel. Point is the thermal coating is overkill, but it looks nice.
