Brass or steel?..which ones! and why?

It really makes no difference, as long as you never plan to remove them, AntiSieze may help on the steel/iron plugs when you go to take them off...brass will come off with no problem without the A-S.

If you had headers, then brass or SS would be better than one's that rust. SS would still require A-S though.

Don't use brass, I have had them soften and pop out from the exhaust heat.

I guess I'll be going with the steel ones then. Don't plan on putting the setup back on there anyways. Thanks
