nah, not thaqt i can think of. as far as i know the ceramics will crack making the headers looking like crap. usually the ceramic coating is there just to keep the temperature under the hood a bit lower.

Ceramics keep underhood temps slightly lower, but its not worth the problems. Stainless is the way to go.

That's not the only reason a cracked header will be a problem. |

Pretty sure stainless is more expensive (DC at least). That price diff. seems right though.

what about the rust factor? is there a way to keep the "stainless steel" ones from rusting? i mean i would see the reasoning behind buying a header that is actually STAINLESS STEEL. not stainless blend or whatever its called. anybody know of any co. that makes real stainless steel ones?
