    Looking to add long tube headers + full 3" dual exhaust early next year, but I want to know if anyone in the NE region had any issue with rust on the headers in the long run?

    Headers and the duals will rust mostly because anything you put on them to protect against rust will burn off .

    I'm wondering if anyone has installed headers up in NE area that drive year around, not many shops in Toronto area want to install them so I'll probably have the dealer to do it and bite the bullet on the installation costs, but I want to make sure they won't rot like ones I had back in early 2000s on my Lexus, I rinse my cars once a week in powerwasher and krown them, everything on that car was mint, except the damn headers had really bad rusts on the welds.

    I saw JBA headers and I'm afraid of that happening again, so do I spend almost 4k from ARH for a full stainless plus another probably 2k on installation, or will JBA survive winters up here.
