A nice pair of Stainless Steel American Racing Headers would take of that issue...

Mine look the same way. When I order the 1 7/8 Kooks system, I will have them coated so it doesn't happen to the headers.

Kooks headers don't rust, they're made of stainless

Kooks, ARH, and I think Dynatech are 304 Stainless which has little iron in it and will probably never show any rust. The coating is good to keep the heat temps futher down (although this is not needed since stainless steel does a great job at insulating it) and for show keeping them looking good all the time.
