Mark was very helpful in getting me started in the right direction. I've been running the headers for 3 years now with no problems at all. I don't even have to sweep up the pile of rust on the trailer floor when starting the car after its been sitting for a while. The extra cost will pay for itself in a few years in my opinion.

Darrin - Stainless headers offer some advantages but the $3,000 price tag scared me off - and I can buy a good broom at Home Depot for under ten bucks ..................
