Question Header Question

I asked this question, but I got no responses, so here is my last try:

Which material of headers is the best : ceramic or stainless steal. This is probably a dumb question given that the rest of the tail pipe is made of steel, but i figure their must be some reason other than looks for a ceramic header. (a friend told me that the paint on ceramic headers melts off or faids or something, is that true???)

Thanks everybody

you cant wrap ceramic headers without them cracking...you can wrap stanless headers.

keep the heat in and the exhaust hoves throught the pipes faster!

ceramic is like a everyday driver type and it's more affordable. stainless is way more expensive and is more for like show use, it also changes color after time.
