Question about Header for 98 Civic...

[Schister66]

I would go with 4-2-1 headers and probably get stainless simply because ceramic does perform a little better but i don't think it would be worth the price difference. If both sets are the same price, then get the ceramic. I have ceramic coated 4-2-1 on my '97 civic d16 and they no9t only perform, but with the right exhaust and tip they sound awesome.

eh, stainless steel is more expensive...

Also, ceramics aren't about looks, they are about performance. The insulating properties of ceramic coatings make for all kinds of little benefits. Oh, and ceramic headers sound slightly different than stainless of the same design. The heavier the coating, the less metallic the sound.
