Use exhaust wrap. A trick to wrapping it is to get the wrap wet before you apply it, it makes it more flexible. Also, since most use fiberglass wear some gloves, or you will be really ******* itchy.
Use clamps when needed. Header wrap definitely helps keep the heat inside the pipe. I used it, and I feel like my underhood temps were at least 10 degrees colder. I can touch the header after a 30 mile drive hom from work, and not burn myself.
