Default Headers

Whats better stainless steel headers or mild steel ceramic coated? I know that mild steel better for cycling heat.But I keep hearing that over time ceramic coated will still rust.I was looking for tts headers for 96 SS anyone know where I can find or recommend something better

in time the ceramic coating will eventually start flaking off, but if coated right it takes awhile for it to happen. i heard jet hot was the way to go.

Yep, eventually ceramic will chip and rust, depending on how much you drive, etc.. I am on my 3rd year for my ceramic pacesetters, they still look pretty good.
