Do I need to get manifolds coated?

Should I coat these with something before doing header wrap back with my sts kit.

Hight Temp VHT spray can them. They are rough enough that the coat pretty well and the coating doesnt flake off. I have done several sets like that with great results.

Would you recommend that stuff for charge piping aswell?

I did it on my own rides. It flakes after a while. I usualy spray the pipes. Wrap them. then spray the wrap. On my personal junk its all about function before form.

I had my stockers ported and coated to help hold in as much heat as possible with my STS kit. Wrapped everything from flange back to the turbo as well.

Now I'll be using Josh's kit and getting the whole hot side coated and wrapped to make it that much better
