In my opinion you got bad advice. The paint burns off pretty quick, and the ceramic coating keeps underhood temps down. You can wrap the headers but that traps condensation and the headers can rust out faster.

Don't forget a good set of gaskets, too. Typically the ones that come with headers are pretty cheap and don't seal so well.
