My downpipe wasn't wrapped when I bought the car. Its an aftermarket one like the one you mention. I decided to wrap it while it was removed last year as it helps keep underbonnet temps down but isn't essential.

Hope this helps.

I have asked this same question and was told that the sports cat is designed to work at a certain temperature, wrapping will exceed this temp and reduce the life.
