Anytime you can conserve heat its a good thing. However on a naturally aspirated car its not near as important other that shielding the heat from becoming destructive more than anything else.
On a turbocharged application is where it truly shines. More heat in the exhaust gas = higher gas velocity and quicker spool up.
In my honest opinion if you are going to do it spend the money and have the parts coated in ceramic by a reputable company. I have messed with the "Header Wrap" and regardless of how well its put on it will be falling off and dragging the ground when exposed to the elements over time.
