Default header coating

I know most of you have your headers coated and that helps keep them in good shape. Is there anybody that has SS headers not coated? Does there seem to be less o2 trouble with them coated? I have mine off right now and was debating to spend the money to get them coated?

mine are uncoated, just OBX SS headers. Underhood temps are no higher than stock. I dont see any reason to get them coated.

Mine are also uncoated but if I had the opportunity/$$$ I'd definitely have them coated.

Mine have been uncoated for a few years and I've been lucky enough not to have any problems
