Default DC 4-1 ceramic finish question

Hey guys -

I'm thinking of throwing a DC 4-1 ceramic header on my B18C ... but I am worried about the fit and finish of the header. a friend of mine had a DC ceramic header that didnt look so good after a few years. had a little rust around the welds and some other cosmetic issues around the flanges... etc..

Just wondering if i can get some feedback on their ceramic headers.
Thanks in advance

SM

They fit fine. The problem is, if you live somewhere where weather is a factor, i.e, tough winters, heavy rain, super hot - real cold, etc. the header seems to take a **** on you unusually fast. DC headers were the big thing back in the day, but we all soon learned you're better off with the stainless header, that is, if DC headers were worth getting in the first place.
