I would have them coated just to reduce underhood temps.

If they are stainless, I'd leave them alone.

One Year later, Obx headers have no problems, best buy for my money. I did have the clamps removed and welded the y-pipe together

Interesting.

Did you get them coated or anything?

Is the car daily driven? no connection-rust or other deterioration?
