My coating on my LTs is holding up good so far. Did you bang them up at all during the install?

Were did you buy them from? I know a lot of new car parts sold on ebay for way cheap had flaws from the factory and were sold cheap in mass quantity. You do get what you pay for. But then again it could have been a bad coating that got by inspection and you just happened to be the unlucky one to pick them up.

My coated PS headers are rusting at the collector, about 8 or 9 inches of just rust and My car is at factory height so I never scraped them or anything. They have seen the rain about 5 times.

If I were to do it again I'd either buy the black ones or go stainless.

Awesome gains and the car sounds louder both at exhaust and the engine bay.
