dude i know what im talking about. go look around at ceramic headers and see who all uses them. and i wouldnt buy ceramic for the price. stainless is probably the best way to go. ceramic just flakes off after heat cycles.

the coating lasts alittle longer then chrome ones but not much longer.
I'll vouge for that.
Mine have flaked and are a little rusty

a lot of people forget that you are able to polish up ceramic with a polishing compound

If it is simply a matter of looks I will go with the cheaper ones as I really do not matter what they will look like.
I hear that the ceramic have better heat dissipation, but I am wondering if I really need it with my setup on my daily driver or if it is just more of a concern with racing setups?

Thanks.
