Polished Ceramic VS. Stainless Steel

[skylovia]

Do any of you know which one is better? I have heard good things about stainless steel but not much about polished ceramic. Do any of you have polished ceramic headers? If so, what are your experiences? Good, bad, do they rust, or stay nice and shiny. Same info on stainless steel would be nice to. Thanks.

I love stainless.. Polished stainless, even better!! Until it turns purple, lol

The stainhless will get ugly lookin eventually - the stock headers are stainless, seen them after a few years? The better metalic-cermanic coatings will hold their luster if not physically damaged.

I have the ceramic coating and it still looks the same. SS unless you polish it a lot will eventually turn color from excessive constant heating. IMO ceramic coating all the way on headers.

I have ceramics too, and they still look the same way they did when they came out of the box.

A friend of mine had some chrome shorties. They were blue shorties by the end of the week.
