Question Heat Management

Hi
I have just purchased a down pipe with a high flow cat, are there any problems with heat wrapping these pipes? Don’t want to overheat the cat if that’s possible, but want to keep the under bonnet temps down.
Car is MY99 with ported headers Harvey up pipe and panel filter, using PPP ECU.

Thanks Simon

I was not sure if the Cat would take the heat if the whole pipe was wrapped, I just want to keep the under bonnet temps down as much as possible, had a thought of wrapping all the pipe but leave the cat unwrapped.

I will now just wrap the the top section.
