A friend of mine had headers on his 6, and along with the MSD, flowmaster, and k&n it sounded pretty good. Fuel economy or power differences? Dunno.

Treat them like fine china. I've got ceramic ones on my Ram and they scratch easy, stain easy, and I think the ceramic burns off if you get oil on them.

Stainless is just the metal. Ceramic is the coating, not the material they're made of. I use chromed steel from GS Motorsports. They may make 'em for V-6's... I dunno.

I just got mine in the mail today(wow they look tiny compared to what I thought they would be) I will post the HP gains from the headers and programmer early next week. I got the ceramic/titanium coating on mine so hopefully it will make a BIG decrease in the underhood temp.
