which would you rather have, ceramic coated steel or stainless steel headers?

and why



only $25 difference in price......

 

Ceramic.

Better resistance to corrosion, insulates heat.

 

Both. Ceramic coated stainless.

But really, coated is the way to go. Stainless is just like any other header just made with stainless steel. After you run it for a few minutes it will discolor and stay a brownish color from then on out. No rust though.

 

cool thanks guys

 

Ceramic coated. Stainless headers are nice but they will eventually rust in places. Not all stainless steel headers are corrosion free. Plus, they ommit heat the same way as regular headers. Ceramic is the only way to go.

 

Ceramic is definitely the way to go. Plenty of info on the boards about this subject.

Which headers/brands are you looking at where theres only $25 difference in price?

 

Best of both worlds,stainless and coated SLP tri-yz whatever you get have them coated.Mine lost only a very little bit of the sparkle.

 

kook headers....

coated seems the best way by far...SS would be nice coated, but a ton of money

 

yep mine are stainless and even that 3" you have is stainless pat.... crazy world huh.

for show purposes i disassemble the exhaust once a year and go over it but even in a perfect world with no rain or salt it happens.
