one thing you have to be carefull of is to make sure the engine bay does not trap too much heat.

the exahust headers is directly under the engine bay with an undercarrage. this arrangement traps a lot of exahust heat within the engine bay. with black paint on the exahust header, the exahust headers can retain even more heat as a result.

if i were to paint / powder coat my exahust, i would only do it to those areas that are expose to the external enviroment.

ceramic coat the headders would be a good choice to keep the engine bay cool, or exahust wrap the headders would acheive the same effect.
