the car bypass pipes are just fine unwrapped. the removal alone of the secondary cats will lead to cooler trunk temps (as mentioned above). additionally you would need to dismember a body to fit it into the rear trunk, so they will not be complaining about the temperature. the only real "advantage" I can see out of wrapping the cat delete pipes is the addition of a substance which will hold road salt and moisture against the pipes, enhancing the corrosive properties of both.

Thanks Everyone

I was thinking while driving today that the pipes are not wrapped or shielded only the Cats...so I will not wrap them. Worst case I could always take them back off and wrap them.....Road Salt is not even an issue in Alabama ...besides I never drive this car in the snow (rare we even get snow) and rarely drive it in the rain.
