I have leftovers from another project and want sum opinions.

Im trying everything to cut down underhood temps on my wifes 2015 Sport.
I was thinking of just wrapping the front convertors with it, ne1 sea a downside to doing this??

Yea I know, I have to much free time on my hands.

I'd crack a joke, but it's way too obvious ... even 4 me LOL!

Not a fan of wrap, due to heat and condensation that will over time rust the part out.  Ceramic coatings & such, sure, must better, but much more expensive as well.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

I would avoid the converters, they already run hot judging on how often I go into COT in my logs. Wrapping them will make them even hotter than the PCM expects and could destroy them.

I think you use more gas to cool down the cylinders but that makes the cats hotter so maybe having hotter cats will actually save gas?
