A ceramic header coating also provides protection against the corrosive materials in the exhaust.
Is ceramic coated or stainless headers better.
The parts are prepped coated baked and polished in a controlled environment assuring a perfect finish every time.
Why use stainless headers mfg inc for ceramic coating.
Ceramic is a highly durable substance that resists corrosion and stands up to a large amount of abuse.
Provides the biggest horsepower gains when compared to other exhaust insulation methods.
Properly coated headers are thus much more durable than the thinner pipes of uncoated headers.
As far as maintenance i m not sure what you mean the only thing you will need to replace every now and then is the flange pipe gasket or the flange head gasket.
In terms of durability and corrosion resistance stainless wins over mild steel headers that are coated only externally with ceramic.
In any case ceramic is never going to hurt power.
Ceramic coated headers ceramic coated exhaust parts this is a spray on finish that s infused with heat insulating ceramics.
Also since the heat is staying inside the headers the exhaust gases will be hotter and will flow more remember as air cools it becomes more dense.
Compared to a standard painted surface a ceramic coated header can run up to 50 cooler surface temperature.
Stainless turn colors as well.
Headers coated inside and out with ceramic should last just this side of forever or at least comparable to stainless.
The ceramic actually blocks alot of the heat if they are coated inside and out.
Stainless will radiate more heat into the engine compartment than ceramic coated headers will.
