[QUOTE="Bdubbs, post: 14663800, member: 99175"] I already sent them off to get coated. Yes 304 ss is a high quality metal, thats know doubting ARH is using high quality materials. But ceramic itself has proven to be very durable and help keep thermal temps down. Which in turn means it's heated up the exhaust gases hotter than normal because it's keeping the heat inside the header instead of actually letting it vent out. The hotter the exhaust the faster it will travel it's way out. I've done my fair share of research on ceramic coated headers vs not. Maybe ARH thought the price of these headers already are higher than many, then adding additional cost for ceramic with possible decrease in sales as the price gets a quite bit more. Here's a decent article about ARH, kooks, and Jet-hot talking about headers and coated. You see the owner of ARH (Nick) doesn't recommend coating the headers unless your doing high end road racing and or have a forced induction setup, otherwise it's just overkill. We do have superchargers on our cars. [url]http://www.corvettenewsblog.com/ceramic-coating-vs-header-wrapping-vs-naked-steel-for-corvette-headers/[/url] [/QUOTE]
