Never heard of a titanium header, but I would think that sucker is bullet proof. Can you post some information on it?

ya thats what i meant by finish... but that doesnt really explain why the long tube titanium ones are $1000 dollars more than the stainless steel long tubes. the site really doesnt give a lot of info

Not too sure where they got the titanium ceramic coated nomenclature, but Tyler is probably right with the color, and not acturally being titanium ceramic material. At any rate, the raw metal is still steel.

Well, if I really cared, I would give them a call tomorrow and ask them what's up with this titanium ceramic coated JBA shorties. Give us a holler when you find out.
