Also is there a big difference between nickel coated and silver ceramic for the extra 200?
this depends on what your looking to do with the car.
nickel is more for corrosion than anything
the ceramic is to hold in heat
the new ceramic does a killer job of that.
holding in more heat keeps exhaust gas velocity up which makes more torque
how much more? couldnt say I haven't done back to back runs with just changing between the 2 coatings.
ceramic also will not disscolor or blue like the nickel.

the runs I did with 18-19hp gains were with the nickel coated headers.

at the times of my dyno my car had CAI, tb, and exhaust before the header dyno for the base run
just headers were added between the 2 dynos
