I have noticed that in my instructions for my twintake the install picture shows the pipework wrapped in what look likes exhaust wrap.
Do my pipes need wrapping? If so any recommendations on suitable material.

....No, they don't need wrapping. IIRC, the Forge representative in the USA has wrapped his and I expect that Forge have used his photos without taking enough care to check them out for being possibly misleading. I'm sorry to say that Forge are poor when it comes to installation instructions etc - As I experienced with the filter cannisters being instructed to fit the wrong way around! < See earlier in this thread.
Is the install pic you have online? - I'd like to see it with a view to suggesting to Forge that they correct it.
Their product is excellent though.

without reading 21 pages... was there an answer to which way round the filters should be? Should it be as the cutaway diagram you showed?

^^^^
Yes, as the cutaway illustration. That assumes that the previous owner had them fitted this way around. You don't want to reverse their orientation because of the debris collected then being on the engine side.
