I have the accuseals on mine, they are doing great so far.
Put antisieze on the threads so you can get em real tight.
USE COPPER RTV SILICONE WHEN YOU CLAMP. please

Mine held up pretty good for over a year, but now there are rusting a lil on the top bends at the collecters. The fit was great on them.

Had mine about 8 months maybe....? They are holding up fine, the fit was very tight on the pass side. I had my exhaust guy put flanges on mine.

Yeah, I'm going to get a coated version, just for that reason.

I really wanted the ball type, I never liked my flat flange headers. The only gasket I ever got to seal on the many pair I had, was dead soft aluminum.

mine have held up great so far. i bought the 2 bolt style stainless bands and they work badass. I used just a touch of silicone (make sure it's o2 sensor safe). everything went in great and I love the sound of them. IMO using the walker 2 bolt style accuseal type clamps is the way to go. once you would on the headers, the coating's integrity is thoroughly fucked and will rust a lot after that, unless you get the recoated, which just costs extra money. if you want pix I can send some to ya
