Default Opinions on Cerakote ceramic coating

I would like to reduce under hood and cabin heat. I have a certified Cerakote coater in Denver who seems to be reasonably priced. A set of headers would be $245 in basic colors or $350 in chromex. A whole exhaust system usually runs about $650 which is tempting. I get mixed reviews on the internet on how much effect ceramic coating has on under hood heat. Hoping for some feedback.

Well with a heat gun you will see a reduction in temps when coated inside and outside.

So it helps but it still gets hot under the hood. For the exhaust just do the forward pipes that run under your feet.
