    it all depends on what you realisitcially plan to do. if just want headers for sake of it and never pop hood. run painted.

    if youre building a big HP high dollar motor you wont be using cheap headers. so all will be stainless at the point

    2000 Wrangler - 5.3litre with some stance

    it ain't that I'm too big to listen to the rumors, It's just that I'm too damn big to pay attention to 'em..That's the difference

    If I decide to go with headers, I will choose stainless, probably OBX, mostly due to road salt in the winters here.
