i agree 1 piece would be a bitch to install...
i have the stainless dc 4-2-1.....
its awesome and i love it...
doesn't rust(except weld spots) BUT it does turn yellow/blueish after a while, but u can get stuff to take that away for a short period of time...i actually think the gold looks good..!?
anywas the cermanic rusts, but like my couisn does, is spray paint them every couple months with silver heat restisant spray...
you can see both of our header(s) in the basement under "what does ur engine bay look liek thread" i made a cpouple days ago..
