From what I've heard they hold in heat about the same.

But on a related note, why do people always insist spending the extra money to get a stainless or ceramic coated powerlog when they still use a non coated or non wrapped crossover and rear mani? I'm mean isn't the whole point of having ceramic coating to hold the heat in and increase velocity? Won't the heat just disperse at the crossover and rear mani anyway, negating the most of the effect that the ceramic coating is supposed have? I mean I can see why someone would want stainless or ceramic coated header's as it would keep the heat in until the downpipe which is out of the engine bay anyway. Am I missing something here or what ?

Rear manifold isn't such a big deal since it's any heat it's giving off is being taken away by air moving through the engine compartment and is gone. But, I do have a stainless Plog and ceramic x-over.
