Chrome? Ceramic? painted?

What is the best bet? Long or short?

 

ceramic lasts longer, keeps the rusting down.
chrome is a waste of time.
the paint will burn off or get scrapped off.
ease of install = shorties
more power/faster acelleration = longtubes

 

I have to admit you answered every question that I had. I really appreciate that.
Thanks!

 

long tube , ceramic coated... or keep them stock

i would never do anything else unless it's garaged and low miles.. my MAC non ceramic are looking bad after only a few years

and shorties... why bother

 

im havin the same problem with mine... next time around im goin to spend the extra money for ceramic

 

Long Tube, Ceramic it is.....

 

i have ceramic shorties and after 4 years they still looked new and i had them recoated for free this year, they look amazing.



however i wish i had long tubes, just cant afford em right now damn car project...

 

+1 on the Ceramic. Stinkin Lincoln summed it up very well.

 

Does anyone recommend a brand? BBK, Hedder, Pacesetter?

 

long tube...wish I had spent the extra money on ceramic, 'cause the chrome turned blue within 10 minutes of firing the car up. I prefer BBK but everyone will have a different preferance. I had Mac shorties and hated them. If you ever remove them for anything, the tubes contract and it's a PITA to get 'em bolted back on.
