Here is a link to a test Cerakote did on ceramic coating.

http://www.cerakotehightemp.com/testing/

It does show the coating to have some pretty good insulating properties along with feedback from others I decided to do it.. I had my SW headers coated as it cost $215 here from a local vendor. With the cost of the better quality wrap being quite high and the time involved to wrap them, I thought that $215 was a bargain. I’m sure some will argue different brands of coating are better than others, and that may be true but I’m not going to start a comparison. Mine was reasonably priced, feedback was very good from others, and they were local and did a nice job.
I agree with Paul that the velocity is so great that the heat loss, although present should be minimal. I’m sure there is can be some kind of performance gain but could it even be 1%? Not a good ROI if you’re looking for HP I don’t think. JMO
