ceramic coated LTH's vs S.S. LTH's
I'm looking into getting fast intension LTH's, I know ceramic coating keeps the heat in the engine bay down, keeps the heat in the runners. As far as performance standpoint and durability anyone have any good information on this topic? I'm not tracking the car anytime soon, I mainly use it for weekend driving and spirited ride everyone once in a while

Stainless, coated, and wrapped, only way to go IMO.

not really and you don't really need to the stock heat shields are awesome insulators, maybe you could pull the shields off and have the headers ceramic coated and put the shields back on, that way the shields don't have to do as much work.

performance wise its a toss up some times the ceramic's make slightly more most of the time it's negligible. the 300 series stainles is the way to go if you want them to last a long time, way more durable than mild steel or even 400 series stainless ceramic coated headers. over time the coating cracks and the headers rust from the inside out. 304 or 316 stainless is the way to go for durability.
