some very useful information that i learned about headers today

the differences between chrome and stainless steel headers.

i only said they seem cheap cause i read from a site
" Ceramic headers are less expensive, but are prone to cracking if they get to extremely hot."

ceramic headers dissipates heat unlike ss. the only way you can get it to very high temps is by fi like nitrious.

what if you live in a hot area?
wouldnt that also raise the temperature of your headers?

not to the pont where they would crack. you have to get them to an extremely high temp

so if i got a ceramic header with a coating like black on it, then it would work just as good as stainless steel?
with no differences in power gains?

is the coating luster?

i dunno, maybe. i remember it started with a j
