Shouldn't be critical now that I'm living in such a dry climate; brake rotors still have no surface rust after being on the car for close to 6 months.

I really don't want to wrap the downpipe either, especially since that means pulling it back out
DEI's tunnel heat shield has worked real well for me. I've lined my trans tunnel and above the exhaust when it turns under the car. Keeps my feet from burning while lapping at a track day.
