    anyone have the bbk chrome headers? im wondering how the chrome coating holds up to the heat and elements, did it get pitted and rusted?????
    if so, how long did it take etc...
    thanks

    I had a set on my 93. Other than the chrome bluing they didn't peel or have rust spots all over them. Since I don't have a garage my car sits in the driveway.

    same here! turned blue after the first hour I drove the car, but no rust or flaking.., If you plan on getting them dont use the bbk gaskets that come with it....spend some extra $$ and get some good ones!, mine lasted 1 month with the original gaskets ..then I got a leak. :nice:


    Oh yeah ..and some stage 8 locking bolts too.

    Well maybe it's the humidity down here in texas cause my LT's have only been on the car for 2-3 months and they look like crap, rusty and discolored. I'll post pics later if yall wanna see.
