Let's hear about fitment issues now. Let's hear about that not-flush flange not-allowing you to get all of the header bolts in correctly. Let's see how long they last before you start blowing out header gaskets, how tight the y-pipe is to the floor, how long the finish lasts, etc..

Not bashing or anything, but EVERY part known to mankind always looks great when you unwrap it.

PS, why didn't yuo go with pacesetters? They aren't much more expensive, just curious on the reasons. Who makes those headers you have there?
holy crap, this is exactly what happened to mine

Mine are still holding up fine, probably around 10k on them. I will admit that there is very minor surface rust on the flanges but that's about it. Its too bad the guy isn't selling them anymore. I must have gotten a good set.

I know there stainless. Some people talk about some "stainless" headers getting rusty tho. and some people will shoot that question out there so i figured id nip it in the bud lol.

Im actually going to be heat wrapping my headers within the next month. Should keep engine bay temps down a good ammount.
