Re: heat wrapping,
I just spoke to the bloke near me who does the ceramic coating and he quoted $240 for coating inside and out.
This will protect the inside of the pipes, if you heat wrap them it will lower the engine bay temp. but will make the inside of the extractors hotter , destroying the metal quicker.
