I have ordered a set GP Headers. Thus far I have the mock up set on the way with the caterpillar. I have yet to decide if I will do the mild steel with silver ceramic coating, black ceramic coating or possibly the straight stainless steel.
Does anybody have pictures of what the stainless steel versions look like? I am assuming these are not a polished stainless steel rather left unpolished?
Reason I would shy away from the stainless steel (if polished) is because I am not interested in the maintenance keeping them looking polished as I have to do with my stainless steel side pipes from Gas-N Performance pipes.

Here are my GP Headers stainless steel Coyote headers. Just plain, no polish. This is exactly how they came out of the box. I had them on the engine in the chassis during initial mock-up, but they're loose right now waiting for the engine to go back in for the final time. They're beautiful pieces, but unfortunately in a Coyote install nearly hidden.

Hi Accobra66,
I,ve got a few years on my GPs. Bought them from the Stainless Header guys who were the original manufactures. My choice would be stainless - maintenance free. They are not polished but are great quality 304 I believe. I'm sure I'll be corrected if I'm mistaken!!!! These thing install easier and flow better than the FFR shorty with J-pipe. They look great after 15,000 miles. They don't need cleaning and unfortunately they are hard to see in the finished car. They truly are a work of art.
