I'm looking at headers for my 2000 Honda Accord EX-V6, and my choices appear to be between a set of Alphawerks stainless steel headers and DC Sport ceramic headers. Both are pretty much the same price but I can't find any comments on the reliability of either. Which of the two should I go with? Or should I go with neither? I haven't heard much about either of them.

Go with the ceramic coated, holds in the exhaust temp to improve scavanging and keeps the engine bay cooler.
