Default Dana Marine 496 headers

I'm interested in buying a set of dana marine headers. I will be running them in salt water and flushing them out after every use. I know they will be hard anodized but I am a little nervous about running them in salt water. Does anyone have any experience with these in salt water?

They build a great system but all product will deteriorate over time is salt water. Weather its stainless marine or IMCO or anyone all these manifolds are hard anodized to help with corrosion resistance. There is no product that is completely impervious to the salt water conditions over time. The Dana manifolds are a great choice http://www.cpperformance.com/p-311-f...haust-kit.aspx

Will the hard anodized aluminum deteriorate faster than a full stainless system? I am torn between the Dana system and the cmi etops.
