Does thermal coating effect/enhance performance?

If so does this equate to less back-pressure, and less torque? Some back pressure is needed for torque production. Or is it better to have a cooler (ie more dense) exhaust gas within the system, to maintain some back pressure and torque (ie no thermal coating, or wrapping, to let the heat dissipate from the length of the system)? Or is there no effect - just my basic understanding of physics, correct/incorrect? - not an engineer. Those that are, please comment/clarify.
