You could always do ceramic coating. It can be done in black or silver, you can do the pipes inside and out, and it looks better than wrap IMHO.

I had the same problem until I went to Spyder in Maggie Valley. There was a man and his son installing heat shields. But I can not think of their names. The heating problem you are talking about is coming from your catilytic converter. I know I miss spell that, but you know what I am talking about. They installed the converter and engine heat shield for $72.00. It was money well spent. Now I have a cooler ride.
