Thanks for all the opinions.
Looks like the consensus on this board is to get coated.
I'll keep that in mind when I finally order my headers.

I had uncoated Dynatechs on my C5 and I have coated Dynatechs on my C6. The reduction in cabin heat is dramatic IMO. That's why I had mine coated. I don't care one way or the other about the looks - it was just a heat issue for me.
