Pyrorocketeer Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Look at this ceramic coat, I think it looks better than stainless. plus the ceramic coat holds heat in better, and it doesn't rust, or change colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kicksome123 Posted November 7, 2006 Author Share Posted November 7, 2006 Okay, so if I get those DC sports 4-1 ceramic headers. They will bolt right up right??? no other needed parts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airjordan223 Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 i have dc sports 4-2-1 header i say stainless because it is stronger than the ceramic and will last longer. ceramic have a coating over them, that can scratch/chip off, exposing the metal and causing rust. it might not happen, but its still possible. i know a bunch of people with stainless and ceramic and both have been fine. so its really up to you. your header will bolt right up, but make sure you have a gasket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mycarsux Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 What's the advantage to have a ceramic coated header rather than a Sst header. And what metal is under the ceramic coating anyway?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicotunner95 Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Well, just to bring it out, how bout ebay headers, will you really get better hp out of a name brand headers, put quality and looks aside, i care only about numbers, hp and money that is!

sonnyjc3 Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Well, just to bring it out, how bout ebay headers, will you really get better hp out of a name brand headers, put quality and looks aside, i care only about numbers, hp and money that is! when it comes to ebay, unlike an intake, which is just a tube with a filter and doesnt really matter that much, a header has an actual purpose. ebay headers crack, and rust. do you know how a header works, the shape and bends of a header is the way it is to create basically a vacuum to suck the exhaust gasses out after the explosion. so having a crapty header will decrease flow rates, in which case youll be better off with stock.

Pyrorocketeer Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 I bought a $40 integra ebay header for my rail project, and the ceramic coating comes off with paint thinner, or carb cleaner. I only used the collector off of it (4 pipes to 1) and built my own header. Those things are so damn expensive by themselves! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
