now granted, my car is a weekend car that rarely sees rain, id say theyre in pretty good shape. definitely happy with them for $385 i paid. the small trickle of rust on the passenger side is compliments of the AC dumping condensation on the header without my knowing.
Can you notice a heat difference inside the car compared to manifolds or does that coating reflect that heat so it runs cooler??

you mean heat coming through the floorboards? maybe a LITTLE when sitting in traffic... in general no, you would need to pay close attention to that before and after to be able say you noticed. believe me the headers cook under there, but the coating does help.

That's to bad. Maybe a little more thought should have been put into the problem area, (floorboard). With just a little work mine turned out fine. You buy Pacesetters because of the good price and groud clearance and go from there. Not very hard to do with minor work, and I'm not sure why yours would leak at the flanges. Their thick and straight as far as mine where concerned.

Do the Pacesetters have better ground clearance than Kooks?
