Re: headers

Ceramic, chrome will start to look like crap after a while.

Where plain painted headers look like crap right after install on startup.

Not to steal the thread, but I was wondering about the stainless headers. They won't rust, but can they burn out? I was looking at some from Ford Racing made out of 409 stainless steel, but they weren't ceramic coated.

Re: headers

I think the stainless would just discolor. I wouldnt think that ceramic coated headers would rust if they where taken good care of and cleaned as much as a set of nice shiny new valve covers or something lol.
