So the ceramic is just for rust resistance? I saw titanium too. I imagine it's just coating.

Hey guys, I want to throw this one out there, too. I have been considering the bbk's and Hooker's and using one of the coatings Eastwood sells. Anyone had any experience with those kind of coatings?

My Hookers are great No rust and they fit perfectly! (I bought another factory H-pipe and cut it to fit).

i think the other thing you need to look at is ease of maintenance. i dont know what shop is putting in you headers but i assure you that the maintenance will be north of four hundrad dollars. well if you have a five speed you will be changing out the clutch sooner or later. the cheaper long tubes make that a little tricky. some headers have to come off to pull the trans. well if you add that extra money for that it almost makes it worth it to get the good ones. just save up alittle longer.
