Actually 95NA..I remember reading an article that had been posted on ZZP'* site regarding a Regal guy that did testing of stock/wrapped/ceramic coated.
The wrap was deemed to be the worst of them all for heat issues.

ADTR did some testing and showed that it was beneficial. The idea here is to MAKE it hot. HOLD the heat in to increase exhaust velocity.
Wrapping traps moisture and can be a problem over time.

ANY exhaust component will benefit from ceramic coating. Anything you can do to hold the heat in will increase exhaust velocity. That'* why ADTR used to sell coated crossovers and downpipes.

Back on topic. Any exhaust component will benefit from higher velocity by coating. There have been issues in other markets with wrapping cracking headers and trapping moisture.

DP did garbage and raped people'* wallets, including my own. Scum. Domestic Performance.
A coated crossover in the long run isn't going to make power. It'll help within a SYSTEM. If you're going headers or PEM'*, the coating will add benefit. By itself, you'll never be able to dyno or 'track' the power.
