i want 2 buy a ceramic dc header for my h22 in a eg civic. should i spend the extra money to buy the stainless. i dont really care about looks i just dont want to have to buy another one later.

I've heard of the warnings but i've never heard of it happening, you'd most likely have to get them really hot to crack them.could always go to honda tech and search.

buy the stainless stell ceramic will crack under extreme temps. and vibration's, and extreme pressure. i.e turbo, nitrous

are we talking about full ceramic or ceramic coated?ceramic coated are as crack resistant as the base parent material. it takes major temps (>1100 degrees c) for them to fail. if your headers are getting that hot, you've got other issues to worry about. visit http://www.jet-hot.com.au/ and see what they do, or contact them and ask.

the dc sport headers are ceramic coated but there still made from stainless steel. getting the full stainless steel headers is all for looks, since the only downside to ceramic is possibility of eventual rust or staining.
