Hey welcome. The preferred brand usually is DC Sports or Greddy. Not sure what the primary difference is though

Ceramic keeps the heat in better, creating more velocity, which means the air is being forced out fast i.e. more efficient. But stainless steel arent bad, and ususally cheaper.

DC sports all the way.

Ceramic = better air flow, keep the heat in better, quieter, more for street use

Stainless steel = lighter, little bit noisier (kinda like a pinging sound since the metal is thinner), more for racing

Good one Ngo!

I think most of us here will agree that for street purposes (i.e. street/strip not full out drag) car ceramic are the way to go, and the ceramic are less expensive than the stainless.

haha thas funny!!!!

IMO id get stainless and wrap them with asbestos wraps. it keeps in heat just as well, is lighter, cheaper, and i like how wrapped headers look.
