Which is better for daily spirited driving on a 01-04 EX with an exhaust, hi-flow cat and intake? Also would you go for a brushed finish or polished stainless steel, I hear that the stainless steel gives a deeper sound than ceramic, is this true? Thanks for the feedback!

depends on what you are looking to get out of it. a 4-2-1 header is focused more on mid-range gains, while a 4-1 header is focused more on top-end gains.

as for finish, really up to you, but i don't think that there is any real performance difference between the two. i believe that ceramic may trap more heat though.
