Rusting header flange
I have the DC Sports 4-2-1, 1 piece, stainless steel header on my R. I have a problem, the flange that bolts to the head is rusting. Am I the only one who has this problem? Is there anything I can do to get rid of the rust? Thanks in advance!

Re: Rusting header flange (TypeRod)
Most SS headers have mild steel flanges. They will rust, so you are not alone, my DC JDM 4-1 did that too.
I'm not sure about how to eliviate the rusting issue though.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. You would think that they wouldnt use mild steel. O well. Thanks for the info!
