The point of using stainless is it wont rust or corrode over time not because its pretty. The coating acts as an insulator to keep the heat inside instead of the engine compartment. Stainless has a poor thermal transfer so the coating isnt needed on it as much as steel but I guess it couldnt hurt.

still, nobody has said why someone would buy stainless headers and have them coated. coated steel and coated stainless steel would have the same results. except steel would cost a bunch less.
