I owned for just over 2-3 years... never really seen a sign of the rust. Not even on the y-pipe which didnt come coated. I was just curios if the stainless would ever eventually show signs of rust and such. And if they would start to blue on the flanges and such from the heat.

The cats on the obx headers... high flow? For sound or performance?

They are not cats they are resonators with the appearance of high flow cats

I had set of "triple nickel plated" edelbrock shorties for my old ram and didnt take long for them to turn on colors. Which isnt bad I guess. I just wonder about the resonators tho if the tech will buy off on it. The resonators look exactly like the ones from Stainless, one of sponsors on the right.
