I am looking into getting a header for my next mod and i have been discussing getting either the ceramic or the stainless with my friends. I want a 4-1 because they offer more high end power but they only offer it in the ceramic which i have read that it tends to flake and break down after a couple yrs.

Or i could go with the 4-2-1 stainless for roughly 100$ more, i know that the stainless probably last longer but i was wondering what u guys think of the ceramics and the stainless any input is welcome thanx guys

Mr. Thunderlips

I've owned 3 ceramic headers from DC. I have NEVER heard of one flaking...Sounds like stories people have been telling you. Maybe some cheap knock-off brand chips, but not DC. Stainless looks nicer, but you have to clean/polish if you want to keep a clean look, otherwise they discolor with useage.

Both of these headers will be DC sports, in case you guys were wondering...

Go with the stainless steel header, haven't heard anyting bad about them.

stainless, because you never know when some dick is gonna cut you off and your gonna go over a curb. its nice when headders dont shatter.

Stainless, if you need to cut/drill/weld on the header, it wont rust.

He has an 01 EX...that wouldn't work.

oops..

THE GAME IS THICK

my friend had a ceramic header and it cracked after a couple years of hard driving. My next header is going to be S.S.!

i have a dc ceramic and i'm highly sissapointed with the finish, the coating is already whearing off and starting to rust on the areas were ther is the most heat, get the stainless

Powercore stainless steel header from Landspeed is nice.

assuming that the 4-1 achieves more top end power, what set up should one go with who is looking for better low/midrange performance? ceramic or stainless? one-piece or two piece? 4-1 or 4-2-1? does it really make a difference? i was also considering a dc. is this a good choice? i'm starting to second guess myself...

i honetly wouldent go with dc unless you get the stainless, i'v had my headers for for about 3 months prety dissapointing

Do what makes you happy for the money. They are both good if they are from DC Sports.
