Default Long header coating or not

Long headers bring high temperature under the hood.
does ceramic coating really help.
Does any with LG or other header can give us advice

Default Re: Long header coating or not (corvettefrance)

i have slp stainless headers coated in + out w/hflo cats .no heat problems w/setup and temp. seems close to stock . i don't feel any extra heat in driver compartment floor. i would not use uncoated headers because of possibility of early corrosion problems and replacing a set is very labour intensive. unless you have stainless. even then keeping the heat in the headers w/coating would help the cats for emission testing ,imo.
