Are there any other advantage to running them other than keeping underhood temps down and them looking better. Thanks

Yes. They'll keep the steel from corroding or stainless from changing colors.

Any extra power gains, i have heard claims but never seen any proof.
They all claim power gains by keeping the exhaust gas hotter, although I've never seen a dyno test to prove it. I'd do it for the maintenance, the looks, and the added longevity. The claimed hp increase is icing on the cake.

...they're pretty?
If you get them coated, don't make the mistake I did and have to have them re-coated.
Break them in... run the motor for 5-10 minutes (while driving or with big fans pointed at it), then let cool down. Repeat 2-3 times. Apparently, this will cure the coating.
