I have 'coated' LG Pro Long tube headers...they are ceramic coated but they are by no means "ceramic" headers.
The subject of whether or not to coat headers is often debated. This is from Jet Hott:
Heat: The coating promotes denser, more potent fuel/air charges by insulating the engine bay from exhaust heat.
Also, it accelerates the pulsed-vacuum effect on “tuned” headers, resulting in more effective scavenging of cylinders. The increased velocity of exhaust gases produced by higher exit inertia not only clears each cylinder more quickly; it also draws in the next fuel/air charge more efficiently.
Besides...they just look good and remain that way.
(and yes, there is a hockey puck on that lift arm
)
