If you have stainless steel I wouldn't worry about it, as they will not rust. However, if your headers are a milder steel like aluminized it wouldn't hurt to get them coated.

Stay away from header wraps! I hear those can be a fire hazard.

The coating does more than reduce rust or look good. Jet Hot coating also reduces temperature. Many are even coating the inside of the headers too, which reduces temperatures even more.
