I say get the Ceramic. Just cause it is cheaper. And neither will get a performance diff. But other then tht I don;t know what hte diff would be.

I just got the X-6 and its awesome. I would asume that the stainless steel would be alot heavier than the ceramic because i think its just aluminun with a ceramic coating.you will be very happy with the ceramic.

ceramic all the way. the stainless may look a little better after a year or so, but take a little mothers to the ceramic, and it will look great too. i got my pipe from sparks. they will rush the pipe to ya after you get ahold of them(he tends to forget to call ya back)

the installation is easy. be sure to replace the headpipe gaskets, and use anti-seize on the midpipe and silencer conjunction. also, use some anti-seize on the bolts on the header. you have to get the right angle to get the pipe onto the cylinder,but its pretty easy. the jetting specs he gives shhould be very close, im sayin this because he jetted my 39fcr practically dead on.

i got my pipe from sparks directly. i was happy with the price i payed, and i am flat out lovin the power. this is by far the best pipe you can get for the 400
