Default Should i keep the TES headers i have on my car now for the turbo build?

Like the title says, i have Edelbrock Tubular exhaust system headers on my LS1 Camaro right now. I am not sure if they are considered shorty headers or what. No one ever really gives me a clear answer when i ask.

This is what i have in case you aren't familiar with this header system.

Anyways, i am planning on going with the STS rear mount turbo system, and i am wondering if this setup i already have on my car is ideal for the rear mount? Also, would it help if i got them coated or wrapped or both?

no reason to change it. The turbo mounts far downstream of your headers

But should i get them coated or wrapped for any performance reasons? They seem ideal for what i am looking to do.
