When I done my exhaust system, I wrapped headers, up-pipe and down pipe. I wrapped the down pipe from top to bottom. Anything else behind the down pipe was left unwrapped. Hope this helps. Someone with more knowledge may be able to confirm if correct...

Kenny, I had my up-pipe and part of my sportscat dp wrapped when it was fitted beginning of the year. Don't quote me on this but I think I was advised NOT to wrap the actual sports cat (the cat bit that is - pipe work okay...not easy to explain that !) but in the end I let the place that fitted it just do it all for me with the "whatever you thinks best" instruction.

If unsure then someone like Dunc/Hypertech I'm sure can advise, and probably do the wrapping & fitting for you as well.

If appropriate for your car then seek out an up-pipe at the same time (sounds like your getting the pipe work seen to then a remap??) to release as much potential as can. Choices for my blobeye on up-pipes were things like an STi up-pipe or where I finally got mine, prewrapped, Harvey(on snet).
