    Do all the flex pipes on the headers leak or leak in a short time ? I bought a zzp 3" but everyshop wants a arm and a leg to weld the stainless . How long do u think it would last or would I be better off paying the money to get it welded in ?

    Mine has been on 3 years and been fine, but other get annoyed by ticking after a few weeks, so YMMV

    would either of you suggest coating in black high heat paint ? or would that fade as well.

    dont think paint would hold up. high heat powder coating might tho.

    id just run them till they rot out, then buy new ones lol
