I am getting my exhaust setup within the next week or two. I was gonna go with BBK LT's, BBK X-Pipe w/ Cats, and SLP LM1 catback. I just can't decide on what type of headers to get. What is the difference between the chrome and the ceramic coated?

 

ceramic will be cooler underhood temps, i live in the desert so cooler for me was worth the extra 100.

 

Chrome are just what they sound like. Chrome. Whereas ceramic kinda looks like between dull chrome and powdercoat silver. The benefit to ceramic (as I'm sure you've noticed the difference in price) is that it acts like header/exhaust wrap. It keeps exhaust temps down. It is better to go with ceramic if your looking for performance because having a cooler engine bay helps engine power as I'm sure you know. If this is a car that you like to go to shows with and show off the engine go with Chrome. I personally have ceramic because I prefer performance over looks.

 

Thanks for the help guys. I was going to go with the ceramic, but I just wanted to check and make sure that it was worth it.
