Default TPIS ceramic coated headers!!

Just would like to get a little input on these headers. Good and bad. I'm thinking of installing these. How does the ceramic hold up? And any dyno results? Or anything in general.
Thanks

I personaly think these are the best headers. I had them on my 94 coupe and on my 02. These headers dont leak thats the best part. They have been around for a long time so they are reliable. My 02 was a 6 speed I had vararam, predator, cat back, x-pipe, and Tpis LT. The car put down 357hp to the wheels on a 90 degree day. hopefully some others will chime in and back me up on this one...

I've had my set on this car for about 3 years now. There's a little corrosion around the flange area and the coating has dulled down some. There were not that many header options for a C-5 3 years ago; at that time TPIS was probably the best choice - I don't think that's the case today. I'll likely go with more cubic inches this winter and will switch to 1 7/8" Kooks.

I am about to install the TPIS with random tech cats/X-pipe in the next couple of nights. Going to the dyno friday afternoon and will let you know my results. Scott
