Ceramic coated stainless headers will give you BOTH corrosion and heat resistance. Coated steel headers are OK, but can still rust.
I drive a 2SS, but the principal still applies.

Thanks a lot Avalnch! Is the ceramic coating something you can do your self or do you have to take it to a specialty shop?
