Default dc header selection

should i get the ceramic or the stainless steel header? will it make a big difference in how they last or anything like that? or is it just looks?

i was happy with my ceramic DC, i have heard some people say theres started to rust around the welds...mine had no problems. The ceramic is a better performer because it traps the heat and allows the exhaust the travel faster.

Stainless is also nice never had a DC stainless but always happy will the others I have had. They due tend to blue after a while... some people like this some don't.

I would have to say its up to your personal preference. I doubt you would be able to tell the difference between the stainless and ceramic(performance wise). The stainless does look better and will never rust. Ceramic shouldn't rust and is cheaper but that is change since more people know how to bend stainless right.

Either way I was very happy with my DC and i am sure either one will perform well.

ceramic header should last you around 3-4 yrs...even DC themselves say so. the SS one will last as long as the car itself.
