what is the real power differnce between ceramic headers and chrome?

DiZzyBonne · August 22nd, 2008, 12:52 AM

I believe there is no power difference, but a ceramic-coated header will last longer due to not having heat issues - I could be wrong though.

ok b/c ive narrowed down to 3 choices for 493 i can get mac lt headers and a 2.5 in prochamber h pipe, 195 ceramic mac lt headers and a o/r h pipe and the last one is 398 chrome mac headers and o/r h pipe. which is the best?

There is a small difference in power but they will last longer and run cooler.

+1 the engine bay and floor boards (not to mention your starter) with stay way cooler with ceramic coating and the headers themselves will last longer.

But as far as bang for the buck goes, it is kinda expensive.

yea i was leaning towards the ceramic w/ the h-pipe but how good is the mac prochamber? is it any increased power/performance or is it just for sound?

ryans88gt · August 22nd, 2008, 02:51 PM

prochamber does just that, chambers all your horsepower...

mustangsoldier · August 22nd, 2008, 03:19 PM

my guess was that the prochamber would restrict the flow. is that accurate?
