i think your talking about ceramic or stainless steel. and they are more expensive because they are just that, ceramic coated. it keeps heat down and they wont discolor

Aluminum is cheaper metal. And ceramic coating is expensive, id say its worth the extra money though.Like he said less heat.

I think you mean stainless steel, not aluminum. Ceramic coated headers keep heat inside the piping instead of in your engine bay.
