Not being a pest just trying to learn.

I have never seen the claimed reductions in under hood temperature scientifically demonstrated in hard numbers. It looks great and they cool off quickly, that is about the sum of it. You are not going to see any performance gains from coating, wrapping, etc.. The headers on my Camaro are bare stainless steel.
