Headers - Toyota Yaris Forums

go stainless. one little nick during install or driving and you may as well have a mild steel header on there. once that little pit starts rusting it just goes under the coating to peel.

i had a ceramic coating on my camaro's headers. lasted about 6 months before it started to be noticeable...and another 3 months before there was more rust/steel than ceramic coating.

you're much better off going stainless if you can find it. never have a problem with them if you do go stainless.

I've had my DC Sports for over 3 years now, and we get winter where I live, NO issues or deterioration. The DC Sports must have been built better than your camero one.

DC Sports has the best design out of the other headers I've seen, the stainless ones just look like fancy versions of the OEM with little bigger pipes, while DC has actually taken the time to not only give bigger pipes, but straighten them out a bit.

It was a Heddman headers right?
HTC coating from Heddman sucks! Even if they don't see winter or rain...
