Ceramic coat Stainless LT headers?

So.. Just Want some advice on what to do.. I have some stainless steel headers in the way. Should I get them ceramic coated or does stainless control heat enough?

Stainless is better at containing heat than mild steel, but nowhere near as good as coated or wrapped.

Seen a lot of negatives about jet hot. Stainless will be fine in a DD.

There is a place in Houston who will do them for 300. I'm gonna wait and see how they hold up. I have a lifetime guarantee on the headers
