Ceramic coated headers

I have to replace a set of headers on my SBC and they are chrome plated steel with high-heat wrap.

Would ceramic coated headers work as well as wrapped headers for keeping under the hood temps down?

The ceramic coating applied by header companies, IMO, is NOT worth it. They don't last.

We send our uncoated headers to Thermal Tech in Hopewell, VA. They apply a "thermal barrier" superior to ceramic. Same with Jet Hot and Swain. I'm sure there are others, but these three I KNOW are good.

We also have the iron manifolds done at Thermal Tech, with an "iron colored" thermal barrier.
