Check these ceramic coated ones. Almost 12 years old. Not perfect but still nice.

when it comes to headers you get what you pay for make sure you get ones with heavy flanges and thick collectors. good ceramics will last but good painted headers will last if you touch them up every so often.

Ceramic #1 kills extra heat in the engine compartment by keeping it in the exhaust. They cool down quicker too. #2 rust and corrosion are pretty much nipped in the butt for a long time
