Its called Exhaust Header Wrap or something like that... made out of fibers. or cheap asbestos who bloody knows; wear a mask and gloves if diy lollll Some says its not recommended and you should only use ceramic coating but when living 15,000km away from common sense the wrap is then ideal

example:
2" 50Ft Roll Fiberglass Exhaust Header Pipe Heat Wrap Tape Black +10 Ties Kit | eBay

6~7+ year later, and still looking good. Better than ceramic, certainly 100+ cheaper

If you look around the muffler intake, that is rust forming (I think). So if your exhaust is a $4,000+ unit and you drive your sport car in the rain, then maybe the wrap is not for you. Looking at this pic above, I'd say Use With Caution!

Although perfect to 'reduce' drone a tad and the heat driven by those cheap made-in-taiwan pipes & cans
