comptech for quality and fitment. u can wait and try to get ur hands on dc sport ($400 or so). dont get any header with two flex pipes.

pm richiev6, great guy and vendor on here. he still might have some sets of headers for around $200. way better quality than the xs.

Ceramic is a coating that is applied to the headers. So they should be ceramic coated stainless steel headers. The ceramic coating will provide a longer lasting consistent looking finish, reduce engine compartment temperatures as it keeps more heat within the header, and the increased heat also results in accelerated exhaust gasses thereby improving efficiency.
