well of course i want more power and torque at the low end and i want my exhaust to sound louder and deeper. the rksport one for 450 is steep and the one from pacesetter, the ceramic coated one for 260 and weapon r ceramic coated for 230 and the rsm racing one but i dont remember the price. but thats really it.

Get what ever one you can afford that is always a good rule of thumb.

well i really like the ceramic coated one from pacesetter for 260.00 and my girlfriend said that was in her range. so i guess that will be the one i get. the ceramic coated one is better than black steel to aint it lighter and more durable?

Ceramic coating is just that a coating... it will retain and dispell heat better than painted steel (i think)
But it wont really be any lighter. i dont know if there is a bifercated (not sure if thats spelt right) model around for the eco but any 4-2-1 tuned headder would be the best one.
Allthou for the ecotec the headder isnt neccicarry to gain performance untill above 250 or 3-something horse power.
