Oh, good point. The last set of rams horn manifolds I had were coated inside and out. While the engine was running you could actually hold your hand on the manifolds for a couple of seconds at a time. The reduction in under-hood temperature was very noticeable. I had them on a Jaguar XJ-6 with a 300 horse 350 under the bonnet. Even the hood of the car felt cooler - the differerence was really dramatic.
Another nice thing about the ram horns is that you can get them wtih flanges for accessory mounting (a/c, p/s). If you are using the headers, you've got to sqirrel a bit to fab up the mounts. Either spend dough for a custom setup or make one.
