does anyone know what would be better ceramic or stainless steel for headers? i'm going to buy obx headers but i was wondering which would be best. please let me know
thanks
Nobody makes ceramic header for the GS. Stainless Steel is your only option.
I believe OBX has the ceramic header for the GS300.
black_gs99 are you looking for looks or performace?
Mainly the stainless steel headers are just for looks, last a long time, rust resistant, and is durable, but will turn blue or purple due to the exhuast heat that is giving out. Also the stainles steel is a little bit more money. The ceramic headers keeps it's original color because it traps the heat that is giving off, making the engine bay cooler and improving exhaust flow, it's not rust resistant so it will rust overtime depending on the conditions outside, and it's cheaper than stainless steel.

thanks i guess i'll go with the SS instead because of the weather we have down here in canada. i wouldn't want my headers to rust away.
If you want to fit the Y pipe, you will have to find a place to extend it to fit. Mine was extended.
mikal i believe 2kracing.com sells both SS and ceramic and i'm still trying to find a shop around here that will extend it for me. if not i'll just not use the y pipe.
