DC Stainless Header vs DC Ceramic Header? My DC ss header snapped at the neck, and I can't find a 4-1 SS DC Header anywhere. DC sport said it'll be 3-4 weeks before they're in stock again. I found the ceramic 4-1, but wanted to know the pro's & con's of the two. I did a search, but couldn't find the info I was looking for. Is there a power difference? every write up I can find seems to be of the SS header. Thanks

 

supposedly b/c ceramic gets hotter, their is a VERY small difference in flow. but dc sports and i'm sure plenty here can comfirm that it is negligible....maybe 0.1 hp less.
other than that, the SS will last longer b/c it has less chance of rusting or cracking, but that after YEARS of usage....and the SS looks better.

personally, i just got a ceramic. just keep an eye on it to make sure it stays in good shape. it'll keep you happy and perform just like your old DC SS.

 

Why cant you get yours re-welded?

 

ss is supposed to be resitant to rust... but in the real world... they still do... i have seen plenty that have rust on them...

It'll just snap again. I couldn't anyway because it got really bent out of shape on the ride home.

My SS DC Sport header had plenty of rust. It had a couple of dents in it anyway, so I'm glad I'm replacing it anyway. So I should just get the ceramic header?
