are you talking about exhaust headers?
ceramic coated headers are made out mild steel, marginal weight differences with the SS manifold

The density of mild steel isn't much different than stainless. Difference in wall thickness & flange thickness would be more important, so you can't just say SS vs. 'ceramic' regardless of brand. The ceramic coating is so thin it doesn't matter much.
