Default Best quality header coatings

Greetings all,
Woo first post here! Does anyone know who makes the best quality heat coatings for longtube headers to help keep underhood temps down? I plan on using the headers on my daily driver and also plan on keeping the vehicle for a very long time. I'm looking for time-tested quality and not necessarily the flashy new trend.

It's a good question, not for sure. All coated headers do a decent job with moving the heat away from the engine, why are you so concerned with it though? If you plan on keeping the car for a very long time like you said though I would go with stainless headers- they'll last longer than anything else.

Mine are jet-hot coated and they work with my 800F-1600F EGTs. My downpipe is stainless with header wrap and HT silicon coating.
My turbo likes hot exhaust and my intercooler likes it cold. They're both happy.
