I could be wrong on both.

You need a catless header to see a difference in high rpms. The catted headers fix mainly the torque dip, but this is also very useful. Maybe not so much in track, but much more on real life. Regarding the temperatures, I was thinking about a Zircotec coating:




I haven't checked it yet with them, but it looks that you need to ship the header in UK for the coating.
