Ya know, I don't like to be a dick, and basically like to give everybody the benefit of the doubt, but dude, you're an opinionated tool who has no idea what he's talking about. Every thread that you post in you're conveying something negative with no thought whatsoever to back it up. If you don't have anything positive or informative to say, stop whoring up threads with ignorant responses.
If you live in a northern climate that sees snow, or salt on the roads, do yourself a favor and get some stainless headers. My current StainlessWorks headers have been through 3 New Jersey winters driven daily, and are doing great aside from some discoloration. Previously I had a set of stainless Gibson shorties that were on my truck for 5+ years and were solid when I removed them, aside from surface rust and some discoloration. My cat-back exhaust that is currently on my truck has been on there for 9 years, and the only part of it that gave me a problem was the U-bolts that weren't stainless. I removed the tail pipes when I lowered the truck and they were completely solid, as well as the Stainless tips that were still in great shape.
Unfortunately, mild steel will rust, and rot. I would think that it's impossible to get the ceramic coating perfectly sealed, end to end, so that no moisture can attack the mild steel underneath...there's simply no way to stop the cancer from happening. I've seen it happen numerous times, KevinF56's PaceSetters are the perfect example. Now if you lived in a hot, dry climate, such as Texas, Arizona, Nevada, etc., then I'd say go for it.

+1 I wish the ban hammer could come down on morons that lend nothing positive to this site.
Yea man, I have no patience for repetitive idiocy...I try to hold back but sometimes the truth just bursts out 
In another thread this guy tried to say that running water through your intake works better than Seafoam
