yes get ceramic, it does as listen above but also holds in the exhaust temps to increase scavaging of the cylinders

they will actually probably start rusting inside... then if there is and scrathces on the chrome from shipping/ install then they will rust shortly
the ceramic is much stronger and wont rust. when theye are diped the inside gets coated too and is much better
daddy always said if somethings worth doin do it right
get the ceramic
