RE: titanium longtubes really needed???
First of all, read the JBA website. The Titanium Ceramic coating is named titanium for the titanium grey color it has. It does not have any titanium in it. It is used for "Race Conditions" where there is extreme heat. The silver ceramic coatings reduce heat for weekend racers and high performance cars "superchargers". The ceramic coating is also applied to the inside of the header. This will eliminate rusting from the inside out. The standard Stainless Steel headers will produce more heat than stock exhaust manifolds. So if you are worried about heat in the engine bay and rusting on the inside of your headers, go with ceramic.

If they had used proper stainless (304 or 321) then the coating wouldn't be needed at all.
shuin, you can buy O2 harness extentions from Casper's Electronics. If you want to keep your stock ECU functionaility, you need all 4 O2 sensors (you can re-use the stock ones).

My vote is for the stainless. I have had two sets of hooker ceramic coated headers and rust eventually come through the coatings on both. It an also be very difficult to get stains like burned-on oil out of the ceramic coatings. You can use steel wool on the stainless if surface appears.
