Is there really any benefit to ceramac headers than to chrome coated ones? Besides looks and mabey durability. Is it worth it to spend the extra money for the ceramac ones?

Ceramic keeps engine bay temps down, and exhaust gasses hot... so more HP.

The other benefit of course being that good ceramic won't discolor or rust over time.

My BBK's are almost the same chrome-ish color they were the day I installed them. They're a bit more clouded now, but not by much.

if you are in a northern state that has a lot of snow it will keep them from rusting as quickly. it is worth the $100 or so more
