Default Opinions on ceramic coated headers? Owners?

I'm planning on getting a JDM header and getting a very good deal on a DC JDM header in ceramic.

I like to hear some interesting thoughts on this type of finish. I know there's not difference in gains with the stainless ones , so why not going with a little more affordable one and mostly when your plan on changing it for a better one or using it not for too long? (I'm saving to get the TODA).

I have ceramic DC headers on both my R and my Civic. The Civic I bought, the R came with it. I have no complaits so far... I have read that the ceramic cracks though.. If your getting a great deal, I say go for it

Yes I can vouch for them. I live near InlineFour, and have done a lot of business with David and Brandon. You might want to shop around first though, as there prices tend to be high.

...even if their prices tend to be high, I think that deal is good. Isn't it?

I didn't think there prices were high. I just ordered my DC JDM 4-1 SS header from them for $365 shipped.
