I can vouch for that. My MSDS headers have done nothing but rust. I even emailed Marty about it before I bought them (1st gen coating) and he assured me that I would have no problems. Hell, my replacemnt y-pipe (1st one cracked and leaked) even began to show rust having only driven in rain from May to Aug and then went all to [censored] after it's first winter. I don't care what all of you say about MSDS's service....when I had contacted Marty about this problem do you want to know what his response was.....drumroll.....NOTHING. He never replied and all of this was within the first year of owning the headers. Quite frankly, if I had the extra $$ between living expenses and my motor build, I'd buy a set of these, modify the y-pipe to work with a 2-bolt flange and coat them and piss on my MSDS headers.
Sorry for the rant (well not really), but I am tired of everyone defending MSDS and saying they are the only and best solution.
Thank you for your experience. I am glad to hear a neagative side to MSDS. Nothing is ever as pretty as every one paints it out to be. And of course i like both sides to every story.
