Stainless steel headers should emit around the same amount of heat as the stock headers into the engine bay. The stainless steel is a better insulator than iron, but the surface area on headers is way greater than the surface area of the stock iron manifolds and therefore the stainless headers would create as much if not more than the stock iron manifolds. If you gave me the actual surface area of each, i could calculate it for you
