WHere to get some Nice SS Headers for my LT1? I am looking for a new set of headers! These Jet hot's I got are CRAP, they rusted all over the place and they are not very old at all! I want to go back with some SS headers. WHO makes some decent SS headers? I am thinking of going with Sorties this time and I have looked at the SLP ones. Does anyone else make nice SS headers? Please tell me if you know of some Short or Long version? Thanks, lata, Ark

I am gona get Shorty SS headers and I am gona get them coated. I dont care if its redundunt. I have seen SS headers with Surface Rust. I dont want them to rust at all! Its Just that simple.
I think the shorty headers will spool the STS Turbo UP faster so thats Why I am going with Shortys.
I have Jet Hot headers NOW and they are rustin threw the Jet Hot Coating which is why I am going With SS headers.
I have seen lots of SS headers with Rust which is why I want to get them Coated.
I know that SLP makes some nice shorty headers in SS BUT does anyone else?
I think thats where I am at now!
Thanks, lata, Ark

mitchotoole - I have NO idea what Happened? I am a fanatic with my car. I pamper everything! They started showing signs of rust after the first few months. I have bin very Un-happy with the rate at which these Headers have deteriated! They are NOT falling apart BUT there is MORE than a Little bit of Rust on them! That's Why I wana go with a coated SS header now.
Thanks, Lata, Ark

The paint began to literally cook off after only 30 seconds of the car running at idle

Damn! I am an idiot! At any rate, I think the JBAs would be a good choice for a shortie header. I am not sure if they are indeed stainless steel, but you can choose either the chrome plated or the coated version (the coated cost a bit more though I believe).
