Chrome vs Ceramic?

AnglicoGT98 · June 21st, 2007, 03:02 PM

What's the difference between Chrome headers and ceramic headers? Both being the same diameter, company, and length (BBK Shorties to be exact). Does one yield more power or is it just a resonation thing and one sound better than the other?

Most of the difference in the two coatings is durability. The ceramic will lower the temps in the engine compartment quite a bit over the chrome. I would not think one would see substantial power difference from one to the other, at least not on a N/a application.

I don't know if you are going to see alot of difference performance wise although the ceramic will keep the heat down better than the chrome. The ceramic will not discolor and flake off like the chrome will. I would definitely go with the ceramic over the chrome.
