Default qwuesiton about ceramic coating on headers

do i really need that? honestly im buying headers tonight and want to know if i can go without the ceramic coating or is that just to worthwhile not to get?

2nd would i benefit alot more if i got the TSP true duals over just a TSP Y-pipe?

im getting Pacesetter LTs

and a TSP airlid along with that

The ceramic coating will keep it a little cooler in your engine bay/// it will not stopd rusting....I'd get duals but i'm biased!!!

If you don't mind rusty headers, and higher underhood temps, then go for the uncoated, if you want them to look better longer and not be so hot under the hood, then go for the coated
IMO it's only an extra $100, and given the pluses of the coated, you'd be foolish not to get the coated ones

k ill go with the coated. esp since tSP is having a sale. 369 for pacesetter LTs

and it look like the duals are only about 50 more than a y-pipe so thats a no brainer also.

If he has access to the software (or someone with it) then getting the codes deleted is an option (probably the best way to go) but, if like me, there is no one close by who does tuning, or he doesn't have the software, then simms are the best solution

Is it a Jet-Hot coating? I hear only certain companies have a limetime warranty on their work. And that the Black ceramic coating last longer than the polished type of ceramic coating.

Possibly. It is hard to say since they yield different results car to car.
