If you want the best you will have to pay the money for them (QTP's). If you want the bang for buck header get the Pacesetters.

A LT is a LT as far as noise level. Pacesetters are a good header for the price, but they arent stainless steel. The Kooks are more because theyre stainless and flow somewhat better.

its ceramic coating, and yes that is a good idea, keeps heat in the headers for the o2s to work well
