Check out these guys, they're in Blooming Prairie: http://www.extremepowdercoating.net/
I have no experience with them but that's what Google spewed out.

You could do it yourself - http://www.techlinecoatings.com/Exhaust.htm
Local guy that did my clutch job just used that stuff and here's what came out:
My headers are in a very tight location.. near control arm bushings, brake lines, etc...any sort of heat barrier is a must for me.
Even with the stock exhaust manifolds, the cap on my grease zirks(for said bushings) melted.
I didn't mean to come off as argumentative. Hopefully you didn't take it that way.

Nah, I was just giving JohnnyT some shit 
I've never thought ceramic coating to be all that expensive honestly... SwainTech charges ~$100 for a turbine housing and ~$200 for a manifold, and they are probably on the high end. For turbo applications, that heat barrier not only keeps heat out of your engine bay, but just as importantly it keeps it IN your exhaust stream so it can be utilized in the turbo.
I suppose with NA it's a different story, but keeping the heat down is always a good thing. Plus it keeps your manifold/header looking pretty
Sorry, didn't mean to throw your thread off-topic there... but SwainTech is the one name I always hear when it comes to ceramic coating; though they are not local and their real specialty is more internal parts.

Yeah I was more referring to Jay. What car is this going on? Any exhaust near the control arm sounds super low and oddly placed so now I'm curious. Not to mention, you said headers...so V6?
Huh, that's actually pretty reasonable. I thought I remember when I was looking a few years ago it was much more costly than that.Nah, I was just giving JohnnyT some shit
