bottom line, ceramic is better performance and stainless looks better

Edit: sorry my mistake.. u were asking about chrome before. Stainless and chrome are pretty much the same. they don't perform the same as ceramic in heat isolation.

yeah, ceraminc is usually better. but some of the high quality headers have stainless steel with a ceramic coating inside. in that case they are about the same, but the SS looks cool once it heats up and it turns a lot of colors.

even stainless steel/chrome intakes... look good for about a month, then they fade and turn to ****.

oh yeah, powdercoated is the only way to go on intakes unless you want to be polishing it all the time.

a 2 piece mightbe easier for you to install on your own. but if you have a buddy or 2 aroudn then the 1 piece will be easy too. will run less of a risk of an exhause leak with a 1 piece also

yeah, 2 piece is way easier to install. but i like one piece better, less weight and less bolts. i hate those stupid exhaust bolts. and put antisieze compound on exhaust bolts.
