headers

I know these questions might sound dumb and I’m not sure if this is the right forum but I want to purchase headers soon and I was wondering should I get stainless steal or ceramic coated? and will the heat given off from the headers affect any of the ac hoses and its cooling abilities, radiator hoses etc…

I had a DC 4-2-1 ceramic header on my old DA. I never had any cooling or hose problems. I’m not sure about which performs better but make sure you wipe them down after the install but before you start it. Any stuff eg oil from you hands will get permanently scared on them

My ceramic DC 4-2-1 headers developed a crack in one of the welds in the primary section, but they’re probably about 6 years old. Hard to say how long they lasted since the previous owner installed them.

I had a guy weld it up and he said the DCs tend to crack in his experience.

:flame: headers?
