Headers coated inside and out with ceramic should last just this side of forever or at least comparable to stainless.
What is better ceramic coating or stainless steel.
Ceramic coating stainless headers is the best way to go.
They don t rust so the coating won t flake off like it can on mild steel headers.
In any case ceramic is never going to hurt power.
The lightweight material heats quickly.
The main reason is due to its durability some people have stainless steel sets for years and they still look brand new.
Ceramic cookware is best used at low to medium heat to protect its delicate non stick coating.
If you need to heat a pot of boiling water you can get there faster with a nonstick pot.
Steel on the other hand is much tougher that way and can be used at any heat without causing much damage to the vessel.
I had coated headers on my lt1 camaro and like one of the other posters accidentally bumped into one of the primaries with my hand after the engine had run for some time.
There is no need to worry about having an accident because steel won t dent if it falls from the counter.
It s durable eliminates static and prevents clothes from sticking to it at high heat.
This might sometimes result in slower cooking as well.
If we re going to be honest ceramic cookware is great but stainless steel takes the cake.
I also agree with the lower temps.
All it takes is a little tlc.
