To keep heat out of that pipe. You might be thinking that I'm keeping it in (since that's what it does for the exhaust), but it does a good job of keeping the heat from the engine bay out as well. There is a bare spot on the pipe right by the intercooler. Prior to doing wrapping the pipe it was so hot in that area that I could not touch it even after normal driving. Now I can easily touch it. Would probably work even better if I wrapped it in something reflective, but I haven't needed to at this point. It gets really hot in there at track days. I have all my exhaust wrapped including the turbo and I've still melted plastic wire covering (whatever that black stuff is called) that is 8-10 inches from anything.
