I think that I can answer for most (but not all) in saying that it is what YOU like that matters.

They both look great in the right application, so whatever you prefer, you can never be wrong.


PS- LOVE the avatar! reminds me of MY early years!

I have the Jet Hot Sterling coating. It is ceramic but much better than the Hooker coating. The chrome will eventually rust. Lot of people here are getting the new stainless steel Hookers.

I worried about how they would look also but the ceramic headers will look fine with the chrome pipes. The chrome headers don't usually look nice for long. They turn colors and rust fast.
