Definately lag it. It doesn't cost much and it's easy to do now, if after having fitted the pipe you decide to lag it then it all becomes a pain.
You can get a 15m roll from Here, it's worth getting the metal ties too.
Fitting the lag will quieten in-cabin noise generated by the downpipe and will help to keep underbonnet temps down.

15 metres did mine totally spot on without a bit to spare, each turn covering half of the turn before it.
I cant really see it.
However, it has been known for people to not bother to refit the heat shield because it has to be cut to fit. This has then resulted in the clutch fluid being boiled.
ive heard a few people having problems with their gearboxes after fitting a decat downpipe
