It's funny that stainless is now "required" for headers. People seem to think that if its not stainless it won't last. I wish someone would bring out a mild steel header for cheaper. Mild steel will probably last longer than 99% of the people will own the car anyway. Since whatever header you buy it seems you have to spend another few hundred dollars in a tune anyway. I had mild steel headers(Hooker Super Comps) on my old Mustang for years, and it was a daily driver. Never rusted out or broke welds. Surface rust yes, but they lasted a looong time. In fact they were still good when I changed them out because I put different heads on. They're still hanging in my shop.
