UPDATE with my Mac Long Tubes rusting, did what I could(PICS)..

[Blakers01GT]

Well i spent about 2 hours under the car with a wire brush, rust remover and got plenty of rust off, alot of parts were obviously brown but I got alot of the thick layer of rust off most of the bottom of the headers(bad part). I got it to a point where it was as smooth as I could get it. I bought some Dupli-Color High Heat with ceramic coating, dyno heat tested Aluminum spray/protectant that takes up to 1200 degrees of heat. I spraid a few coats of what I could get too, but spraid the parts that were bad. take a look, at least it won't get worse from here. Still waiting for Mac's reply to my email....

What do you expect mac to do?

It was YOUR decision not to buy the coated headers...

I would rather get the regular headers, and paint them myself with hightemp paint. Or would is this not a perminant solution.

obviously, If I had to do it over, I would have taken this stuff and loaded it on before I got them installed. I just got it at a local Advanced Auto Parts in the Paint isle. It's Dupli Color(12oz bottle) HIGH HEAT w/Ceramic, "DYNO HEAT TESTED". it has a picture of headers and a motor on the bottle, it takes up to 1200* of heat. It's about 5$ a bottle. and on the cap it says "ALUMINUM DH1606". while I'm at it I'm gonna spray my mufflers as well.......

that's the stuff I used on my macs. I put a bunch of coats on before installing them as well as on my dr.gas x (had a bunch of extra paint ) Mine did get scratched up during the install, but I touched them up and they seem to be hold up great :crosses fingers:
