Ceramic Coated FTW.

Keeps temps down, slows the rusting process down, and they are baller.

Probably wont make much of a difference, I have coated Hooker LTs, friends have had uncoated, not really much difference in a bolt on car. Uncoated just looks like complete *** after a while, get coated, heat stays down and they look so much better. My coatings a dull silver now since they are probably 10 or so years old and been on 3 differnt cars, all 93s oddly enough, two 9 second 93s and now my turd, but any case its still looks way better than a set of uncoated headers.

Coated will keep under-hood temps down, which will help from heatsoak a LITTLE bit.

Speed, what in the **** does "Baller" mean lol

I love my hooker Long Tubes, Coated. They still look as good as the day I bought them. I dont drive the car in the rain,EVER, but my buddys pacesetter longtubes that were coated have rusted almost half way up the header! He drove the car in the rain but never winter, oh and its a ls1 but no diffrence in coating.

You could use "baller" in this way......

"Dude that guy over there in the hot tube with 8 girls and money floating around is a baller."

I have no idea if its a noun,adjective, whatever but thats how I would use it...lol

Me too, I just don't know how something can be Baller LOL

Screw kids today! I'm going back to the 80s -_-

THAT'S RAD MAN!


NOW For on topic: I personally, if you have the money, always go Ceramic coated. I'd coat everything if I had the money heh
