Default exhaust temp? (shopping for coatings)

Anyone know what our exhaust temps run (headers & downpipe)? Im looking at getting a downpipe & headers coated, just not sure what our operating temp is.
This is just for a stage 2 setup, but i do plan on upgrading the turbo later on. (Like a year from now when i can afford it).
Thanks!!!

I think healthy exhaust gas temperatures are between 1400-1500 F with a modded car and good tune. Maybe someone else knows for sure.

from an advanced search for "normal egt temp" that was limited to the "engine, power and performance" section:

(you, too, can do it.)

I recently got a tune after exhaust and intake mods. With 320 WHP, at the exhaust manifold I am getting ~1400 - 1500 deg F cruising and maxing at a bit under 1600 at WOT.

now this makes me wonder why fullrace only offers coatings up to 1600 F.
