Would ceramic coating the water pipe be beneficial?
I am in the process of installing a new manifold and bigger turbo on my '12 GSR.
I'm prepping the engine bay for more heat and also sending out some parts to be ceramic coated.
The placement of the water pump and pipe got me thinking if it would be beneficial to coat the pipe or if it wouldn't really be necessary.

Ceramic coating keeps heat in, you don't want to make the cooling system retain more heat. The pipe should be left as-is. Replacing the stock turbo setup with an aftermarket one doesn't really change the heat the pipe sees.

Otherwise, these are magic bullets for the header heat problem:
