So i should opt for the ceramic coated headers, and JBA shorties are the brand of choice?

LT's would be nice but I don't see them as being realistic for my daily driver. For my scenario i would be looking at $2k for LT and true duals due to the labor costs and the rediculous shipping costs to hawaii!!! FTW!

Thanks for the drive reviews and reactions.

I have a few more question for those who's stainless headers ended up going bad..
1) about how many miles did you get out of them?
2) What In your opinion caused them to fail?
3) What were your driving conditions? Mine will be ocean(salt) air, some sand, rain, and alot of heat.

thanks again for all the feedback and keep the input coming!
