Looks good, made me think of GMracer's thread...

Its welded to the factory sheet metal, so it has to be steel

Pulled off some of the Hot parts and Re-wrapped them. Here's what all came off, it basically came off by blowing on the old wrap. I don't know if it was installed incorrectly or just burned to a crisp but Fiberglass would be blown around the engine bay anytime to fans came on or the truck was moving. This was that titanium wrap stuff...

Random User supplied me with I think 200 feet of 2" wrap (which is alot) however Because I was overlapping so much on purpose I soon ran out so I bought another 200 ft of DEI stuff I found at Autozone and double and in some place tripple wrapped it...

Anyways, I have them back in now, put a few heat cylces through them and alot of the water/spray burned off and seems like it's gonna work. There's a few things I got re-adjust before I can really put a load on the pipes and get them to glow so that I can see how well this new wrap will work. Probably won't be for a while though as I have no motivation and am leaving hopefully soon.
