What you need to do is let me hook you up with a ceramic coat from my buddy. All my stuff is ceramic coated and wrapped... I can reach down and grab my turbine housing while the truck is running...

If your going to keep a stock style setup, you should ceramic coat it, it will be worth it, far more than wrapping it all...

dirty it is a pita to do it on the truck and keep the wrap tight as you can... if i was you i would take it back off and do it. I bought the high heat paint (not as good as full ceramic coating but itll do) and painted it then wrapped it, then painted again, wrapped a second time then painted over that a third time and like racin said at any given time i can reach down and grab any pipe and not burn my hand
