power diffs?

[Neale Flynn]

is there any noticeable difference in the power gain of non coated pacesetter headers and ceramic coated pacesetters on a 95 3.4l?

[BLLDOGG]

no, not really. just looks and heat control. i guess if you want to go deeper, you could say that it reduced heat around the motor allowing more power to be released :\

[Neale Flynn]

ok i thought that might be the case

Ceramic coated headers will keep heat out of your engine bay. Less heat in the engine bay means more horsepower.

Ceramic coated headers are the way to go.

Save your money, Buy the black headers and get a roll of header wrap to keep the heat in.

[Neale Flynn]

sounds good

Didn't James almost burn his car down from header wrap??

Buy the coated headers. You'll only be dissapointed later if you get the painted ones.

Bad idea for street cars. Not only can the heat wrap light up after long usage but it also rots when it gets wet. Get the ceramic headers.

Werd. Wish I had gotten coated headers on my thirdgen, now I'm ditching the shorties for LT's when it gets converted to carb.

yup, unles you can only afford thge painted ones, the ceramic is the way to go, those header wraps can catch fire.
painted headers eventually chip, and dont lower engine temps at all.
as far as power is concerned, its the same, unless your boosted where a cool engine bay means the world
