Default Tsp headers


How can you tell the TSP stainless steel headers vs their older mild steel headers? My only thoughts were if you see more rust on them. I’m thinking of buying a used set but don’t know if I want the older mild steel ones.

Depending on what stainless is used, a magnet.

Those don't look like the new ones to me.

They used to ceramic coat the old headers because they were mild steel, that's what these look like..

If you get them cheap enough .. new tsp headers are only a grand and you’ll get stainless all the right parts instructions and a warranty . Buy used and it’s a crap shoot .
