Header Idea Ok i came up with an idea, it might be **** but its worth a try.
Since people are having trouble with non coated pacesetters and other brands, what if you sprayed them with a spray in bed liner application. That way they would covered in a rubber ( solve the banging problem?) and that way rocks and **** wouldn't be able to chip it. I dont know how high of a heat it can handle though. I searched and didnt find anything so maybe someone can shed some light on this?

Not a good idea. Your LT's will get too hot for this & it won't solve the banging issue. The best fix for banging is poly motor mounts. A cheap fix is a chunk of radiator hose between the ORY & floor.
I would just shoot it with some good high temp paint & call it a day. Unless you want to take them in to get ceramic coated, or send them to get jethot coated.

As mentioned, the banging issues may be aided by some poly motor mounts but, fitment issues can be a bigger concern sometimes... ofcourse a high quality header will fit tons better and wouldn't have any of those problems or a need to massage/hack up your cat to make them fit
Honestly, my personal experience with high-temp coatings wasn't the best. On my previous TA I had a set of Jet-Hot coated Kook's headers and they quickly chipped and rusted down near the collector, it really looked like **** and I was NOT happy.
Do it right and do it right the first time...why waste your time & money just to not be happy or even worse have to do it twice. Get a good high quality fitting stainless header and call it a day.
