Default Coated Kooks Headers ...

Hey I am thinking of purchasing either Kooks or QTP headers and was wondering if I went wth Kooks .. Is it worth getting them coated? Along with that .. what are the benefits of ceramic coating.

Stainless Steel is fine. You don't really need any coating on stainless.

Well, in the Jet Hot website it shows that jet hot coating helps get more Hp.
But unless you want to squeeze every horse, if thats even true

No, not worth it.

I thought coating LT was perfered?

Yes - Stainless Steel is a must to avoid rusting, but the coating is supposed to hold the heat inside the headers, down into the y-pipe then to the exhaust.
