Should I dip SLP headers?

I've heard they dont rust or anything and I know about the heat problem but does it really make that much of a difference? 150 bucks difference anyway?

well.. 150 to have it possibly last longer, and reduce heat in the engine bay, which could raise gas mileage a little.. i'd get it done unless you have something else to get right away..

Actually, they don't really rust but they do turn kinda ugly looking. I would have them dipped anyways.
Here is a pic of a guys SLP headers..

See what I mean kinda?
If you get them coated, they will look like this.


So you decide.
