Thanks to frostbite I went to S&S... I was wondering since I don't know much about them at all if this was worth it.. http://www.headermania.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=H&Product_Code=3400&Category_Code=V6HeadersOA

Or if I should wait forever to get the package with V-6 Headers Ceramic Coated with Flex & Cat ?

Seems like something dumb, but being newer into cars I would rather either be flammed or get some help while looking on my own as well.. IDK.. input please? <3

Get the ceramic coated. They flow better and will last longer....i have them and they are GREAT. :)

Do you have a cat-back exhaust already? When adding headers, it would be a good idea to get one if you don't have it.

When all the prices add up, I think it would be worth it to get the package deal all at once with the coated headers, downpipe and the high flow cat. You could always get the non-coated headers and at a later time add a high flow cat. It's all about what your budget allows.

They hold the heat in better which helps keep the velocity up. They flow the same as the non-coated headers in terms of volume.
