I would highly suggest having the headers jet hot coated unless they're stainless steel.

I would just spend the extra, if it really is that much more, and get a set of kooks stainless steel headers. After a year or two, jet hots tend to get alot of surface rust around the collestors and all. Coating doesn't really seem to help that much.

No matter what coating you get it will eventually rust. Jet Hot isn't used for stopping rust, it's mainly used for transferring heat out of your primaries. It's supposed to keep your engine cooler like stated above. Stainless steel and Jet Hot coated are both nice.
