Default Pacesetter Headers with bad oxidation

Hey guys, just wondering if anybody with uncoated pacesetter lt1 have any discoloring or rust looking oxidation? The reason I ask is because they have only been on the car about 3 months and look to be getting worse.

Are they painted headers? Painted headers loose the paint quick and look rusty in no time at all.

I had painted Hedman headers on my 83z, some of the paint was coming off before I even had them out of the box, within 4 months they were completly rusty looking.
