   I dont think its heat wrap as such,i think its the wadding type stuff that you pack a crossers silencer with.
   
   Your better off going to a good source, you dont want to be driving along a see flames come out of the bonnet.....

   looks like the stuff you get from demon tweeks though i must admit it seems alot more shiny and there are no markings for aligning it up like you normally get.

   The theroy goes - Hot gases move quicker ergo they can be removed quicker from the head and sent into the exhaust system.
   
   Wheather on an engine only putting out 120bhp you would see an improvement is debaitable really.
   
   Rally cars and general motorsport appilactions use it as they are normally running high powered engines running at high revs.
   
   Ive fitted it before simply to reduce engine bay temp's and looks really.
   
   If your running stainless steel manifold you wont see the metal change colour as it gets hot - if you got maild steel wrap it as it will discolour and get alot of surafe rust
