This is J-H sterling but they don't look like this forever. I agree if you go with SS you'll never regret it

They look good brand new , first time they get wet
Like anything that looks good, you got to keep em polished. Right now my anckles look like i been wadeing in water with a stingray! There not bad at all with long paints on though.

What happens to them? I'm also in the market for a set. How much more is SS compared to the chrome or jet hot?

They get a brownish tint to em looks like rust is coming right through the coating, i use mother"s polish they clean right up though. I won"t quote you a price on chrome, or ss but you"ll be shocked !

Does anyone have stainless big block Hooker sidepipe headers? Ive found the side tube in stainless but not the headers. Im pretty sure I remember seeing them a long time ago advertised but now that I have my engine on the way I cant find them.

Supposedly Hooker made 100 or so sets of BBC Stainless Headers years ago - however, they do not currently, nor do they have plans to, make stainless BBC headers... That is a shame...
