depends on the gauge of the tubes too
from Zircotec's website... "
We have developed a range of ultra high performance thermal barrier coatings that are specifically designed to prevent unwanted heat loss from engine exhaust system components"
It insulates the header and therefore increases exhaust gas speed thru the system- ergo your tips will be hotter than before
I don't think it adversely affects the cats at all -they will warm up quicker if anythng
WRC cars have their cats right in the tips but also are coated in entirety...
