i want to see a set of coated pacesetters that have been rusted so bad where it affects performance. i live in NE where the salt and crap is kinda bad and i NEVER had a problem with mine. as long as the coating holds up in the engine bay to serve it's purpose to limit underhood heat then who cares if it gets rusty on the bottom. the only people that will notice is the people in the stands when you go wheels up or the maintenance guy if you cant change your own oil. so then you have to decide is the extra grand worth a few HP for getting kooks? i would say the logical decision is no it's not! go buy your self some pacesetters and a fast 90mm/ NW 90 TB and you'll get more power than a set of "pretty" headders.

Kooks has better collectors, velocity spike. I'm glad I went with Koooks, wouldn't have it any other way.
