I know ceramic coated is better but does it really matter if it's just the black painted headers other than keeping heat down? What if I got the black painted ones and sprayed over em with some high temp bbq paint or just high temp paint? same effect? I want some Hooker Longtubes but dont want to have to spend the extra $120 on ceramic coated if I dont have to.

Paint or coating? I have uncoated SS Kooks....Only had them for about 2 months now, but no problems yet. I chose not to coat because I was afraid of scraping them during install, and that expensive coating can just go out the window, at that point.

As a side note for those getting headers coated you can get a couple of different colors that I am aware of. One is black and the other is titanium. Then of course the mostly seen silver/chrome look. There could be others I am not aware of.
