    Question Rust Prevention?

    There is this header I want to get. Since I drive the car all year around, I don't want the bottom piece to rust quickly. The top piece is chrome plated while the bottom piece is ceramic coated. There is no stainless steel version available.

    Is there anything I can do to prevent the bottom piece from rusting?

    shrug .. if its already coated not much more you can do, unless you want to get it powder coated by another company again with high temp stuff and hope you never scrape it off ...

    otherwise, buy stainless ?

    No, it is not pacesetter. It is from Toyomoto, and they don't offer the header in stainless steel. Not much choice I have...

    turboMiata:
    That POR-15 high temp. stuff, will that prevent rust also? I went to their website, and they have a seperate application just for anti-rust. But it doesn't say if it can handle high temp. I guess I will e-mail them. Thanks for the link!!
