It is longer....same length as the LS...and since it is the JDM replica it will have a 2.5" collector.

The cat for the Type R is the same length as the LS. Thus, the header is longer in the collector area. So, it won't directly bolt on if that's what you are saying.

Ceramic is cheaper because it is made of ceramic coated mild steel, looks worse, and doesn't last as long as stainless steel.
