cermaic i beleive keeps the underhood temp down, and chrome is nice, but it will blue over time.2009 Honda Civic EX- the daily beater

Chrome retains heat, will discolor and turn blue. Then comes the rust and flakes. What you want is ceramic coated. Much better control of exhaust heat, keeping it inside the exhaust and out the rear. The underhood temps will be lower, they won't turn blue and will last longer due to the coating that prevents rust.

Chrome is useless on headers. Don't waste your moeny. Go with cera-metallic, or don't get any coating at all.Fred

Edelbrock suffers from delusions of grandeur.... their LT1 parts seldom peform as well as they claim. You would have to pick up about 75 HP to reduce your ET by one second. Isn't going to happen with headers.Fred

Edelbrock claims that the TES Headers for the thirdgens will shave off a full second off your 0-60 time as well as your quarter mile time.Originally posted by Injuneer
Granted thirdgen exhaust manifolds do suck but i still think thats an over statement.Comment
