stainless don't flake off.
Ceramic has been known to.
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

i bought a stainless set for my 392 at a swap. the guy modified the collector area for some reason [he said they hit the oil pan ?], but i will be doing further mods because of what i want to do. plus, i got them for a great price. stainless will, however, discolor, so keep this in mind. six of one, 1/2 a dozen of the other. then, there is the "it depends" on the coating. i have seen some coatings that are crap, while others last many, many years without issues in color or bonding.

Some types of stainless do rust... If your stainless is rusting, it ain't stainless, it's chinesium.

1. Its called "Stain LESS", not rust free. 2. Stainless is not appreciably different in density then steel, ie same weight 3. SS transmits heat less then steel 4. The suggestion of both would be my choice 5. 409 SS, unless coated would not be my choice 6. Regardless, never "wrap" for the street if you want to keep them. edit: "Common Name Density (g/cm3) Plain carbon steel AISI-SAE 1020 7.86 Stainless steel type 304 7.9" https://hypertextbook.com/facts/2004/KarenSutherland.shtmlThere are many alloys of each of course, with widely different mechanical properties for each class of material. SS generally has more useful preferred properties as corrosion and higher temps enter the process.

Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

I prefer ceramic because it's cooler under the hood. (Less burns on my hands and arms.) Stainless seems to be the rage now.
