Is ceramic really the shiz, or is that jus crap? I mean it seems like a good idea to me. The number 1 ceramic is a little more expensive than some of the stainless headers I've checked, but I need some more opinions. holla........

I like ceramic coated parts....mainly cuz they dont turn those funkie colors like most stainless after a while.

Well.. I'm sold. Damn I didn't know this was going to be that easy. Really tho. How much better can it be. It wasn't exactly all that smooth. And steel is. I'm so confused.

Yep it rocks!

bluetwo

all right. how long do you think it will take to install just the header? jack stands or lift? both aren't too hard to use... and i guess a new gasket would be in order????

Ceramic coated headers contain the heat much better, it allows a longer time for the exhaust to cool down. (Quick cooling = bad)

Should be easy but! Those are the screws that get that crazy crazy heat so they might be like kinda welded on. So just expect the worst!

bluetwo

ok thanks. hadn't thought about that potential pain in the ass

honura

Yeah it's kinda a pain depending on how long the current one has been on there. But hey you never know you might get lucky!

I don't know what car u are putting the ceramic headers on, but I have Stainless ones on the Del Sol and that combine with my tein suspension touched on a few speed bumps which slightly pushed the bottom of the pipe up. Lucky for me the headers were flexible enough to absorb the impact, I am not sure if I had ceramic if they would have cracked; that might be something to look into.
