Yeah I tend to agree, and with a good wrap, it’s amazing how much heat is kept in the manifold, which aids the exhaust gas flow.
IMHO ceramic coating is a relative waste of money compared to wrap. Plastics were still melting near the headers after I had mine coated… but you can almost touch the headers after being wrapped. (But wrapping is a pain in the butt, and needs upkeep)
