I'd say so, the manifold literally sits up near the brake lines to make it equal length, it does get bloody hot.
If you buy DECENT wrap it'll be fine, the crap stuff just falls off, but if you get some of the stuff from rallynuts or wherever, or even get some of the ceramic spray paint, to try and keep the heat in, it'll help, those gti6 manifolds increase under bay temperatures massively, lots of surface area and lots of heat = boo

See how high the far runners sit, to make room, they sit right up by the brake lines, lots of surface area in comparison to the XS/XSi Manis.
