What Are the Benefits of Ceramic Exhaust Headers?

Installing ceramic-coated exhaust headers on your car or truck has many practical benefits as opposed to using other types of header coating materials, such as paint, powder coating and header tape.

Less Heat On Nearby Mechanical Components

Ceramic-coated headers produce less heat, because the ceramic acts as barrier between the headers and the engine. This in turn contributes to less stress on nearby mechanical components.

Performance Increase

Ceramic-coated headers can result in a slight performance increase because of their superior ability to dissipate heat, which is one of the major horsepower killers.

Rust Resistant

Ceramic coating helps headers last longer. A header with this type of coating will not rust or corrode, because the ceramic coating is rust resistant, making the header more durable.

Better Appearance

Headers that have been ceramic coated generally look better than painted headers or headers that have been wrapped with header tape. Ceramic-coated headers have clean, smooth appearance.

Easier to Clean

It's easier to keep ceramic-coated headers clean because of the smooth, hard nature of the coating.
