Also anything that is chrome holds in heat...which is bad.....nothing on an engine should ever be crome im my opinion....yea it looks good but heat=bad....if you can afford it get ceramic coating...if not just paint them with some high heat exhaust paint..just my 2 cents.

Well if some of these ghosts respond I'll get to hear it too which will be fun (most of the time it seems like it's 3 or 4 of us responding). I don't hear much about ceramic coating anymore honestly, not sure why that is. Maybe because of how common stainless is these days, or because those tiny power gains ("keeping in the heat") aren't worth the hassle or expense. Heck it could be the EPA banned the chemicals or something. I haven't thought much about it in a while myself..
cool man I definitely will be inquiring as to why myself. I can see possibly going with the BBK's if they are recommended by enough people and not too many disadvantages or fitment issues of using them. I think my basani X I bought in 2002 is stainless and think back then it was $400. I can see that a set of stainless longtubes would be ....................................................
