Ceramic coating stuff

I had a set of ceramic coated headers on my saleen explorer.
Something about the finish that I just didn't like, especially as it aged and they lost their luster.
I'm unsure if there really is performance benefit of ceramic coating, but visually i'd rather be looking at a high quality set of Stainless headers.

I think the ceramic coating is more for heat than appearance.

I know my current headers get hot as hell after a long drive and am looking to ceramic coat in an effort to reduce that heat.

Yeah any kind of builds I would do going forward would be mild steel that are coated. Stainless just gets too hot! I left my stainless Bassani X bare and it just resonates the heat off the floor boards! My ceramic long tubes cool so fast after the car is shut off you can touch them within a few minutes of shutting the car off.
