Stainless Steel or Ceramic OBX headers??

I ordered ceramic OBX headers on Ebay. They informed that they are back ordered. They told me they would upgrade me to stainless steel at no charge. I'm not sure but I think the ceramic headers dissapate heat better. The Stainless steel look better but well change a blueish color after time from heating up and cooling down. I need to respond to the company ASAP...... I don't think I will notice any performace gain or loss either way....Which are better , Stainless steel or ceramic ?

its really up to you. ss header will weigh a little bit more than ceramic, and can also withstand impact better (like if your car is really low and you run over a rock or something...). performance-wise it will be the same. the color is up to you which you'll like better, a shiny-bluish header, or silver header.
