Looks good. Been wanting to do the same thing but haven't found a local shop and also wanted to have the exhaust gas temp probe ordered and installed in the manifold prior to refinish.
Ceramic coated my exhaust manifolds

Yes it will and I am doing those as well AFTER I port and polish them.
I also did this to the air filter canister to reduce even more temps:

This tape makes your filter housing look like it fell off an orbiting Russian satellite...
I used to get my bike jugs done for something like 50 bucks (Early 80's dollars). My 5.0 intakes were around 300 in the 90's. My '71 442 (Oldsmobile 455) parts were a big job and very expensive. I don't remember what the cost was for intake, heads and exhaust manifolds. My dad still lived in Irwin (where they are located) then, and he took care of the whole thing. But, he had been doing business with them for a long time, so I think he got a break.
It seems that there is a thread around with a number around 750 for a 1FZ-FE intake set.

Several test articles on the heat reduction this product can deliver....Here is one:
Tested – DEI Reflect-A-Gold Thermal Heat Barrier Tape - The Octane Report
I had a manifold for my 1960 F-100 done which is much larger done a few years ago and it cost me $80, but that was just a ceramic coating.
Wow!!! Those manifolds are absolutely beautiful...

So far really happy with this mod. Its noticeable how much warmer the engine bay is on my friend's LC vs mine now. More of the heat is going out the exhaust instead of heat soaking into the engine bay. I need to get one of those laser temp guns and quantify the results. 
Want ceramic coating?!?! I covered my exhaust manifolds and heat shield for free when I played around in a lot of mud a few months back. Didn't think about washing it for a few days cause I liked the dirty look, popped the hood of the cruiser, voila! Rock hard ceramics! hah totally not worth it. I am still cleaning til this day.
I had the dump pipe on my 1hd-ft ceramic coated some 2 years ago.
& recently had some new heat shields ceramic coated aswell.
But as you can see it does fade over time.
However i can run my fingers over the dump pipe after about 5 mins of shutting the motor down with out burning my finger's.
The heat shields where done to protect the intercooler hose.
& in time ill have the exhuast manifolds as well as the turbo done.
Apparently it all aids in the spool up of the turbo.

great idea, I should've done this when I had my Supercharger and head off when doing the headgasket last year 
Has anyone wrapped their exhaust piping on the 80 yet? I did it with my 40 and reduced temps a great deal in the surrounding metal. I can even touch the wrap after driving. I plan on doing it to the 80 as well.

I'm adding a supercharger and your thread inspired me to do my manifolds as well. I coated both my heat shields and manifolds satin black. I had the inside and outside of the manifolds done. I wound up buying new manifolds because I couldn't get the bolts out that connect it to the y-pipe.
Also, I'm planning on having a custom over the frame exhaust done at some point so I bought the crossover heat shield for the 93-94 and had that ceramic coated as well. Hopefully it keeps the rear passenger floor temperature down for the kids.
I had it all done at Pristine Powder Coating in Denver for $250. Apparently the crossover heat shield was expensive because it has alot of surface area.

I'm just trying to prevent heat issues with the blower. Also, I figure it will be really hard to do it later once the blower is in.

Straight out of the Mclaren F1 school of thought. Awesome!
Wow y'all are getting fancy!
I used heat wrap around the exhaust downpipes. Don't do it. Well, maybe if you live in the desert, sure. But if you plan on getting it dirty it will stick to the wrap and make a mess. I think i'm going to unwrap mine soon.
I also went with a custom exhaust over the frame in the rear. I did use exhaust wrapping there and it's working very well in that location. I guess it does not see near the road debris as the down pipe.

Installed them tonight.

NLXTACY and/or DARKNESS - Did your ceramic coater do the inside of your manifolds as well?
