yeah thats why i was afraid to get the ceramic. I heard it would crack. I heard the Nickel changes color. Does it look bad? It won't rust easy will it?
LOL i just realized I posted Knickle.
When you say heavy, is it heavier than stock?

nickel is heavy but looks nice
ceramic is lighter, has the possibility of cracking, but supposedly gives better performance (the whole point of the ceramic is to act as a heat barrier) Long story short; its your call. Personal preference.

And where do plan on getting the Kamikaze header from? I'd get me the black one.

The cheapest I could find is $250.00 from importparts.com

Don't get the black. I heard the paint will fall off an look like crap. I ordered the nickel chrome shipped for $275 from bigjoshracing.com
I also ordered the O2 sim from casper electronics that was $87 shipped. Should be here by next weekend along with the other stuff i ordered. I really want to do a before and after dyno, but may not have the funds after all the stuff i bought. It's $60 for 3 pulls. I'm gonna call tomorrow and see if I could set a time for next fri or sat.
The only thing I'm missin is the 2" donut gasket and the nuts. Anyone know what size they are so I can try to get some from the honda dealer?
Later

My stainless steel header gets too hot to touch.
