if you gonna get dc sport header then make sure its dc sport race header. if its not then you wasting your money.
Ceramic is lighter and is cheaper then stainless steal. good to get rid of heat a little. stainless steal is heavier then stock head i think. but it looks good under the hood. but it tends to get really hot. but if you gona get those cheap ebay stainless steal header then go for it.

with stainless, the underhood temps will be higher than with ceramic, since the ceramic headers retain heat better. stainless will be more durable and last longer, but remember that you get what you pay for. in a choice between cheap stainless, vs dc ceramic, id get the ceramic. but dc stainless vs dc ceramic, id get stainless. and also, if you do get stainless, wear gloves when installing them.
