Just an FYI---My Stellings "Green" full length tubular headers are almost 15 years old and have over 400 hours on them---all fresh water. I have even slightly overheated them once years ago---no cracks, leaks or problems to date. (565cid N/A 600+hp)

For what its worth I thought I could add my 2 cents.... I have used both wet and dry Lightning systems and have been very pleased them. I used the standard (wet) system on a stock internals 454 mag for more than 600hrs with no issues of corrosion or faulty craftsmanship. I boat in freshwater only and drain them after each use. Currently, due to cam profiles and HP numbers as CP Performance mentioned I am using Lightnings (dry) system. Although I have not used headers by another manufacturer, I would highly recommend Lightnings based on my experience with them.
