Depends what theme you are going with. If your pulleys, valve covers, etc are polished then polish the headers. If your theme is more race or factory stule with black here and there,etc then go milled. I actually like the milled finish.

I agree with Jay. Depends on your theme. The other thing...if you really want polished ones, do it the way you want to do it the first time. It's much cheaper in the end. I have some pics of Stainless Works polished headers in my build thread if you want to see some get you motivated
