For removable metal parts I'd ceramic coat them. Not cheap but I am not a fan of wrapping, personally.

yes, who was it that had that sexy wrap that looked more like a case? I was certain I'd find it in the projects section when searching for one of "manifold", "heat wrap" or "headers", but i've come up empty handed

I’ve had my manifold, downpipe and wastegates done by them, quality is second to none and it works very well.

Looks amazing and I'm sure it does a fantastic job but the cost of it is huge.

Really....???
I've been quoted £650 to do an exhaust manifold which is crazy money imo.

Thanks Matty.
I think one of the guys with a 2.1 or 2.3 Hawk used them recently. If I remember right, it was about £850 for manifold, downpipe and turbo?

Their work looks amazing and I guess these are more efficient than ceramic coating!
Does anyone know if humidity/water affect the longevity of these insulations?

For what it's worth, back in 2012 I paid around £500-550 (from memory) to have a Prodrive downpipe and an exhaust middle section ceramic coated.
