Not sure you need to coat stainless, unless you have heat issues. Someone also recently coated a set (LG's if I remember correctly) and had problems with sealing at the head gasket as a result of the coating.

ï»¿I recommend coating inside and out. Headers are more efficient if you reduce the radiant heat and coating will reduce under-hood temperatures which is always good.
