Ceramic - its easy and I have it. However, not just DC Sports...really its any ceramic.

Both have their down falls. If you don't take care of and eventually replace them, the ceramic will tarnish. The polished (stainless steel) will rust or brown with the heat. Also ceramic is cheaper :D .

I think ceramic last longer. Plus, stainless is usually for show, and nobody can really see our headers.:confused:

isnt the intake manifold ceramic... so if u take care of that then u could take car of the header... i would go with most power like jackson racing header, or comptech. what floats ur boat?

HP header, because it's cheap and it's a 4-1 design :)

i vote for stainless. you just wrap heat wrap on it. i have DC Sports stainless header. one thing is, how come other brand such as Spoon Sports, Mugen makes stainless header? i think stainless is better...

2 that!

I LOVE my HP and it's such a big difference on the high end. Can't beat it for the price. Just be sure to hit all the internal welds with a dremel ;) .

I like the ceramic... should hold heat in pretty well, which is a good thing. A wrapped stainless header would do the same, but the ceramic is cheaper.

when i got my exhaust modified for my race header i was asking the guy about wrapping the header with heat wrap and he said you should never do that because it makes the header rot away.
