Ceramic headers ARE made form steel.....mild steel to be exact....that are ceramic coated. I assume you meant to say Stainless steel.....I preffer the stainless steel..particularly in a northern climate.

Ceramic is nice. Keeps heat where it should be.

I can't wait to get pics of my AN-R with the Calico flat black ceramic coating.

And to expand on that, the reason they are not made from ceramic is that it is extremely brittle, and would crack in minutes from the stress and vibration.

ceramic coating is good way to go, or jet hot wich is pretty much same thing.. like crx toad said, keeps heat where it should be, and keeps under hood temps down
