Is there much benefit from heatwrapping a N/A engine exhaust?

I would never fit a stainless manifold without wrapping or coating it. Stainless transfers heat a lot better than cast which results in higher engine bay temps and higher air intake temps.
Quality coating is three times as much as a good quality wrap though 
My wrapped manifold added 4bhp (rolling roaded before and after), im sure that would be less if it wasnt wrapped

Mine is a Raceland and I had the same problem dude, the first two tubes are VERY close. I just took my time and managed to squeeze just enough wrap in the gap to cover both pipes. I think I used something blunt to ease the wrap into the small gap.

could you heatwrap or liquid coat a mild steel manifold? or would it being heat wrapped hold in any water when cold and just rust to death?
