doesnt make that much of a difference at all..its a mental thing loland on the slim chance that i ever go f/i then these will hold up better. the metallics are recommended for f/i
if i got ceramics and went f/i then i would have to go through the trouble of taking them off, selling them, losing some money, and getting new ones
so the slight price difference was not a big deal at all to me
to quote tony...

400 Cell Ceramic:
It is a honeycomb style ceramic brick. They are essentialy an upgraded version of stock cats. They are much less restrictive then stock cats but don't flow as well as the Metallic's do.

imo, i wouldnt take the chance with the ceramics if i were you. but its best to ask tony or rick. i know rick is vortech'd...i wonder if he is running fast intention cats or test pipes...
but yeh, id ask one of them before purchasing...i dont wanna be responsible

The issue you will have with ANY CAT when FI is the lean and rich issue. They both increase the level and speed of degredation - but that turn out to be another maintenance item really.
For FI - ideally - the Metallic is the way to go.

I had testpipes before, but with headers and NA buildup, etc...it was just too loud for me.
