Is the extra price for ceramic LTs really worth it or should i just go with chrome?

I like ceramic way more than chrome. The chrome ones I've had discolored pretty fast too. I've had coated ones that you could bump your hand on by accident a few mins after shutting the motor off and not get burned, chrome is an instant blister. That shows how much heat the coated ones keep inside.

The chrome will get pretty discolored and dissipate a ton of heat compared to the ceramics. I went with the chrome when I bought L/T's last year for my old Mustang. Definitely could feel some heat through the floor boards and especially under the hood, but nothing to be alarmed about.

Ceramic for sure.

Not a fan of my previous BBK ceramics (Fox body), compared to getting other headers coated by Jet-Hot. The BBK's finish didn't last as long, and after 2 years started to rust at the welds. You get what you pay for...Maybe they're doing them better now...
