i never realized that. i would think that after all the vehicles that i have had with mild steel headers that i would have seen a crack. they are jethot coated which keep them 200 degrees cooler which is enough for me to stick with mild steel since stainless retains more heat. i suppose me living in phoenix with mild steel prototype headers and putting 35k miles on them i would have seen a crack already. thanks for the info i may have to get rid of these LOL

I don't have the Megan but the folks I have spoken to with it say they love it and it gave a marginal gain and great sound. Do some searches, I think there is a video I saw as well.
And headers??? Megan makes a test pipe, but I believe this will not make your SC pass any smog tests. Do some searches on that.
For a little over $800 you can add almost a complete cat-back Megan system which IMO is a good price.

Spoke with a couple of mechanics today about test pipes and Texas state inspections. Turns out on newer model cars, all they look for is OBD codes during inspection. So if I have test pipes with O2 simulators and am not throwing codes, should be able to get away with it. I'm gonna give it a try.
