Default Chrome moly vrs "other"

Ok, been lookin at alot of mods that come in either chrome moly or non-chrome moly configs.

I want to know if theres any performance differance between these two, specifically when it comes to:

1. Pacesetter headers
2. Suspension mods (panhard, LCA, swaybar, etc)

Like what consequences do I run by opting for the non-chrome moly versions.

For suspension the chrome moly pieces will be a little lighter weight because the wall thickness of the tubing does not need to be as thick for the same strength as non-chrome moly pieces. Is the small reduction in weight worth the higher price? It's up to you.
