Stainless. Those Hookers should fit really well and them in stainless should make them last long. No loose situation right there.

I would deffinatley go with stainless. I know 3 guys with hooker ceramic cotated headers and 2 of them our just sunday cruisers no rain no snow and have surface rust on them. The 3rd one is a daily driver no snow or salt and the ceramic coating started flaking off after a couple hundered miles. Go with QTP they are the best header out there period. I orderd mine from New Era Performance and they price matched it to 700$ Original price is 720$ They fit the best and my car dynos more power and pulls better track times then anyone that I know with just bolt ons.

i dunno if i would pay the money to get stainless like kooks or QTP! i know they will make more power over my pacesetters. but ive seen a couple used sets of stainless steel headers in the used section, and they look like $hit!! i could care less about a shinier header. my pacesetters have been doing a kick a$$ job for me so far.

Mine still look great and they have nothing to peel off or rust. Plus Stainless lasts longer then 3 sets of ceramic coated. My opinion is that the worst looking stainless looks better then rusted ceramic coated anyday.
