Blake, I'll need to take another picture of them for you, as the only others I have are front-on it seems right now. The answer is that they are wrapped right back to the end of the headers, where the silencers join. They key to doing the wrap is to use plenty of neat jubilee-style clips to hold the ends tightly to the pipe, or they will come off. I made the midtake of wrapping in the direction from cylinder head to silencer, where I should have done it the other way round. This makes sure that the overlaps are 'streamlined' into the wind blast, rather than not. This helps prevent fraying somewhat, a symptom from which I am mildly suffering at present. You should also soak the material in water before wrapping, as it helps things set and kinda stick better.
