i have sato high mounts on my sp2, but a stock header, can i add a aftermarket header or are the slip ons different for a full system? any reccomendations for a different brand of full system that would be better?

Stock/Sato combo

You will not find better Hp/Torque then what you have on there now. Save your money. Satos only fit with the stock header.

Excuse my stupidty whats the benefit of ceramic coating the headers ???

 

[turbosonoma]

Ceramic coatings have a very low heat transfer coefficient. This means they do not absorb heat efficiently which makes them an excellent thermal barrier. This is why headers are commonly coated with ceramic paint to keep temperatures low. A byproduct of retaining the heat within the exhaust gas instead of transferring it through the piping of the exhaust is also an increase in power. This occurs because the exhaust gases stay hotter longer which allows them to leave the vehicle at higher velocities. This means a reduction in backpressure and an increase in horsepower will result.

The only drawback to this is the header walls being too thin and cracking, especially after they get so hot they are splashed with cold water.

Thanks for the explanation and the pro's and con's of doing such
