Mines aluminized. I think you would have to ask for stainless steel, other wise you will just get the aluminized pipe.
As goes for the high temp paint, nope..at least nothing that is good any way.
Question....
I have the x-pipe with the slip on collectors. Why don't you just get the band style clamp from a Napa or order it from a Summit or Jegs? Then you don't have to worry about recoating the header collecter. (It will be clamped on by a stainless steel clamp.) Mine works awsome, and when torqued down per instuctions I can't even twist one off the pipes with one of my huge pipe wrenches!!!! Oh yea, talk about gained ground clearence and no need to ever buy new collector gaskets again!!!!
I think it is an awsome set-up and no need to worry about them falling off either.
My 2 cents
If you have any questions just PM me and I will see if I can get my camara to work to send a pic of my exhust.
Good Luck
