Need advice Fast, OBX!

i ordered stainless steel Headers from ssautochrome and I was told that they were out of stock. They told me they had ceramic coated headers that they got in last week for sale at the same price. not one to mwait I said to ship em to me if they are the 2nd gen headers from OBX.

What I want to know is if I will be getting less horsepower or if the stainless steel headers are worth the wait. What are the differences? Fast cus I ordered them already and they will be here soon.

from the inside or outside and is that the only flaw? if they don't hinder performance, i don't mind the peeling.

rondog, I have the ceramic coated headers and wish I never did it. They are peeling on the outside, slowly but surely. It doesn't affect performance of course, but if you like a clean look underhood, you won't see it w/ these. I'd wait.
