How hot do you think the headers get? Over 2000 degrees F perhaps?

Default if you're talking about the outside of the headers i'd guess

lower than the EGT's. they (the stock ones) do have that exciting double walled "insulated" construction.

awe puts that funky aerospace ceramic on theirs to retain heat.

Default Coatings serve 2 purposes:

To keep heat in the manifold, not in the engine bay
To move the EG quickly through the header

Can't hurt, IMO, I don't know how much it will help you unless you really mod this motor.
