Default Ceramic headers?

I was shopping for a new header earlier and was in the process of placing an order for a s&s power tuned head pipe and then asked myself "why not a rush ceramic"? The s&s and the Rush premium duals are very similar except Rush offers there pipe in ceramic. Has anyone had any bad experience with ceramic? Peeling, cracking or anything? Any reason to not go with the new Rush premium duals?

Default Mgs true duals

our black pipes are ceramic. We never have issues with them. The heat rate is 1400 degrees before it should start to have issues. So as long as it is good quality ceramic coating there should be no issues.

No issues with ceramic as long as the ceramic was applied properly. Drago's pipe are all ceramic coated as well.

They are, but to Franks specs.

I'm sure the fuelmoto pipe is great I just wish it didn't use factory heat shields. My heat shields are not perfect and it would be nice to achieve a different look with a new exhuast imo.

I have used Rush Ceramic inside and out pipes since 2010 with zero issues.

I am sure any reputable company that offers the product will be just as good.

I have used the Drago ceramic-coated header with no issues. It's a quality piece, backed by both Frank Drago and Rush. A solid combo IMO...

I have the Fuel Moto plasma coated pipes, no discoloration, pealing or anything. Look like the day they were put on.
