Default Using a Comptech header in winter

I dont know what forum to ask this in but i figured that itr owners have the nicest headers

i might be getting a comptech tig welded header but im not sure if i should put it on in the winter. i dont have any of the plastic under my engine to the header is exposed to the elements.

i dont want to put a nice header and have it ruined by salt and sand. is anyone running a SS header in the winter?

The flange on the head will, but not the header itself.

Ive had mine for 2+ years now without any problems...it aint too pretty, but its not destroyed

this is NOT true.
It WILL rust, but it resists rust a lot better than non stainless.
