Don't bother wasting your time or money, as you won't gain anything and in 6 months time it will all start to fall off. Better off providing a better cold feed to your induction filter!.

if you use cheap wrap and dont do it correctly it will dry up and crumble then fall off.
I have my headers and up-pipe done but not the downpipe, I'm sure it helps with heat retention to some degree.
