Default Stainless steel or ceramic?

I see ceramic headers and I see stainless steel headers. What's the difference? Does one give you more power over the other? Which one would you choose?

Yeah its too late.....when you create the poll it asks you if you want to have it "free" or "locked"......free allows people to add stuff.......Usually "smoke weed every day" is added.

Depends...

Ceramic has (I think) lower thermal conduction, BUT cannot be repaired because you can't weld it. Stainless you can repair.

BTW, unless you have 321 stainless headers, don't wrap them, use a shield.
