Heatwrapping every part of exhaust
I've seen some people do this, and I'm aware of some of the features, I.e keeps engine bay temps down etc
but does it help with feeling a little more performance? In otherways by keeping heat in the exhaust causing better gasflow?

Yes it keeps the gas temperature up, and will therefore allow the exhaust to flow slightly quicker, but I would bet that you would never feel any 'gain' from doing this on your run of the mill car.

use heat wrap to protect your engine components. All pulse tuning is done in the manifold so it is pointless IMO to wrap the exhaust..

Yeah, but what's with that message, that a hotter exhaust gas will flow faster, than a colder one?

pointless if you want power gains, good for protection if you have no heat shields
