Stainless all the way. You never have to worry about corossion, and make sure to wrap the headers.

I'd go with this. I currently have the ceramic coated and I have a good bit of rust going on.

You could reuse your stock gaskets, how many miles do you have in your camaro?

i have just about 48k on her. I went with ceramic headers, but now having second doubts, should i return and go with stainless?

I was just thinking, its under the hood anyways not too many people are going to see it so why worry about rust?

thanks for the input guys any other advise are welcome.

It depends on what area you live in when it comes to rusting. I had 30K on mine and just reused the stock gaskets.

Ceramic here, no rust, and re used the stock gaskets (16,xxx miles) no problems.
