Depends on the formulation (everything is more complicated when you get into
it) but suffice to say the type of ceramic used on exhaust manifolds is
formulated to reduce heat transfer into the engine compartment. Better than
header
wrap since the wrap can get saturated with oil and whatnot.
Plus the ceramic is good for 1200 or 1300 degrees.

applications so I'm an expert (yeah, right))
