I would think that ceramic would contain the heat a little better then SS. But I went with SS anyway because, well, it's stainless lol.

I have LG's that originally came uncoated. Since then, have had them Jet Hot coated. Not only do they look incredible, the heat has been cut down significantly.

$$$ *cha-ching* Best of both worlds. Never have to worry about the headers rusting through the coating.

My Street Series are polished stainless. They look great. A little hard to see with fuel rail covers on though.

We're having LGM coat the LG Pros they are sending us this month. Yep, a bit $$$ but what the heck, in for a penny, in for a pound.
