first time in rain with LTs
first time in rain with LTs yea it actually happened, we here in southern CA had flooding! 
anyways, this was my first time out with my LTs. what do you guys who see rain use to wipe them down after it rains to prevent rusting? is there any kind of polish?

I've never thought about the rain for LT's being a problem. I am going to be installing them soon. I am going to get uncoated ones, and my car is my daily driver. Is there anything I should do to cover the O2s or something in case of rain?
Lol... mine are uncoated so i just let them do their thing. Pretty sure by the time the water hits it, it evaporates. Those things get pretty hott.... I decided to lay my hand on one once when i was checkin my coil pack. Very fun experience. As for the o2's, ive never heard of covering them up???? Maybe a good idea, but it never seems to be a topic when people are talkin about header swaps.
my coating chipped off and the headers began to rust, the first time i was caught in the rain. if your that **** about the headers towel dry them, and wipe mothers metal polish on the coating? i dunno.... lol

can't argue with that !^^^
if you're going to drive it you're going to have to get over it. the rest of your exhaust is getting just as wet...so is the floor pan,a-arms,diff and even the tranny ! suck it up and drive that beast !
