OK, so I know what you mean but.......wrapping an exhaust pipe makes the actual PIPE temp. go up....WAY up, to the point of actual pipe damage for some kinds of (cheap) pipes. It pushes the heat back to the un-wrapped portion of the pipe; thus you can burn the CRAP out of yourself....or your pants way back at the back where it would normally not be nearly that hot.
It does, of course, insulate you from the heat wherever the wrap is actually located.
