My understanding is:

1. longer life of headers (esp mild steel)
2. Keeps heat out of engine bay and away from components like steering and brake master cylinder. (heat proof coatings)
3. By keeping heat inside headers, speeds up exhaust gas flow, which can help with scavenging design headers.

I will get the track car dumps coated once I get around to buying some.

If they are short headers then its about $400, but if they are long ones (like the Rush ones) then its about $440.

At least thats what it cost me.

The silver looks better but doesn't work as well as the black/grey. And the shine dulls off where ever it gets very hot (like at merge points)
