Yeah, that was not the gas tank. . . LoL. . . .
I done this before with both, just regular rattle can paint and VHT.
The regular spray will last for a few months if that. The VHT or Barbecue type paint will last for a while.

i was looking that like "wtf? that's not the gas tank. the gas tank is right behind the back seat"
as for whether or not it will last. how hot does the exhaust get compared to the intake manifold? My intake manifold has been painted with primer/base/clear high temp paint from autozone for almost 2 years and the paint looks fine.

I used header paint on my exhaust and sanded it down and it has been there for two years, minus some gravel/road debris chips.
Looks good!

regardless i dont think it was heat that ruined my exhaust when i painted it. i used high temp paint and daily drove it through rain and salted roads. daily driving and painted exhaust dont mix.
and its got a rattle in it
