Most headers are a bit tight and take some banging to get all the bolts on any headers under $100 are good enough! Unless you're a diehard quarter mile guy anything more is a waste.

There is plenty of reasons for ceramic though... Leading reason is heat.... If your engine is already running hot headers will be hotter than normal manifolds.

Just because I like to think too much...

If headers flow the exhaust gas a a faster rate, then the heat dissipation would be faster then stock manifolds. The larger diameter allows for less friction forces within the pipe and therefore would aid in cooling, not hurt it...

i couldnt afford ceramic coated headers, too far outa my price range, way too far, so i could only buy painted, painted hooker competition longtubes, $200, and im gunna wrap them too
