Arrow Ceramic Up-Pipes - worth it?

Doing the IH bellow up-pipes when I do my BTS transmission in a month. Is the ceramic coating worth an extra $150? I looked today and there's a bit of soot on the driver side, so perfect timing!

Thanks in advance

Matt

There was a discussion of the turbo being a heat engine here.....

... and that thread gives a link to another thread where several posted that insulating the up-pipes gave a benefit.
