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?

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?

if you are going to coat it, coat it with something that will not rust the ceramic headers. i forgot what the substance was called. coat it before bolting it on. also there is barely any difference in performance between ss and ceramic. i chose cermaic because it didnt absorb that much heat as ss did and it was hard finding a ss header that was carb legal.
