Ceramic or Chrome?

I'm getting some bassani headers but is the extra $100 worth having ceramic coated headers or should I just get some header wrap?

Also Chrome doesn't dissipate heat nearly as well as ceramic.

If I remember right the Bassani headers are all stainless steel so they wil not rust anyway. The ceramic coating is very nice, if you are going to put some header wrap on, get the coating and forget about the wrap. In my opinion it is worth the extra 100.

The ceramic coating will keep heat levels in the engine compartement down, and it'll last 4x longer than the chrome will.

Really, a hundred bucks is only a full tank of Premium Gas in a 32.5 gallon Bronco gas tank.
