Snakin 69 , the Ceramic over the Chrome Headers is simple here. With having the Ceramic, you instantly lower the underhood temperatures, as the heat dissipates allot quicker , verses regular Stainless Steel that does hold heat soak. Performance wise, Ceramic is better for a Supercharged Engine, as heat is it's worst enemy. Hope this helps.

Not clear what you are talking about - the heat dissipates where, and which heat? If you are talking about the heat of the exhaust flow, why would that be good? Hotter is better as it supports higher flow velocity, and therefore, higher rates.

If you mean heat after engine shut down, that is another matter.

I thought ceramic is a better insulator than chrome, so wouldn't it dissipate less - dissipate means it exchanges heat in this contect.

Can you clarify?

Cobra'03, dissipating heat in this instance, is helping to cut down on under hood temperatures outside the Ceramic Header Tubes, verses inside the Header Tubes themselves, as Chrome does not dissipate any Heat, as same for Stainless Steel, It retains it for yet , higher under hood engine temperatures. Hope this helps.
