I'd go with stainless steel. Yes, they get nasty looking over time but you can always sand them down and polish them up if you used your time on it. It'll look like new again.

Ceramic tends to rust over time and I heard they crack as well but never had first hand experience as I've always had stainless steel headers.

Don't go OBX. It's cheap and won't last. Get at least Megan Racing header; it works good on my F22B1. My topend improved as well when I got the header installed. You'll love it but stay away from OBX; its cheap and will leak.

x2

OBX sucks. Megan Racing is about the same price and far superior to OBX. I had an OBX header on my 5th gen. Didn't even last a year before it warped.

If you can afford it DC Sports makes an excellent 4-2-1 header for these cars

If you can't pay for that, the Megan will do nicely..
