Yes, hope it can stay looking like that or do an occasional re-wrap.

these look good, but I don’t think they are big enough to do anything.

I had these and cut up some older (i think dyna) shields to cover the parts i kept melting things on. That said i swapped mine out to cobra 2-1 and gained heat shields, sound I like better and increased performance.
Here are pics before and after (or after and before - depending on how this goffy app orders things).

Yea whether it was the Bootlegger, the FP3 or a little of both ? Or you feel that the Bootlegger helped by itself as well as the FP3?

Hard to say what did what. But at the end of the day the tuner will only put out what the exhaust can handle. So in that sense I guess the exhaust would have had the bigger impact.
