i like the look of the stainless steel headers,LOL. but which is better at keeping the heat in the header and away from the engine bay?? which would last longer?? i can always use header wrap i guess if the stainless steel is a better choice.

 

stainless steel means no rust. i would reccomend ceramic coated headers=Dc Sports Ceramic headers

 

dc ceramic sucks it looks like mine is going to rust away and thats after i sanded it down and put hi temp paint on it the rust just came through

 

No matter what your headers will rust, so that shouldn't even be a factor.

 

i thought stainless doesnt rust???

they do eventually after a while. they look nice for a few weeks then the color starts to change and its starts to dull out then rust..

stainless=bling ceramic=cost effective

 

Just get whichever is cheaper.

 

i recomend dc ceramic as well. yeah they start to rust but just sand them down and get hi temp ceramic paint and they look good as new!

 

id definitly reccomend stainless. for one stainless will take longer to rust.. mines going on 3.5 years and no rust whatsoever.

but the main reason is ceramic headers are a much cheaper metal. compared to the stainless they will bend and dent a whole lot easier.
