Hooker headers and sidepipes, Chrome or Ceramic?
Im thinking of putting a set of hookers on the car with sidepipes.
Any advice weather to go Ceramic coated or Chrome?
Thanks

I didn't know they made Hooker side pipes in Stainless if so that IS the way to go,
Basically the way I see it Chrome looks good for a spell but does almost zero for rust pervention, these side pipes are faily bucks up if you plan to keep the car and run the side pipes go ahead and anty up and get ceramic it will pay for itself in incresed life span of the headers and pipes....

Hooker does make in stainless and it's definitely the way to go. May cost a little more, but worth it. You won't have to worry about rust and they clean up easily. Compare the cost, it's not that big a gap. I was looking at the sterling ceramic finish that looks really good, but still doesn't have the shine that chrome and stainless have. Like Yellow72 said . . . no looking back.
