The engine should exhaust thru the original resonating pipe in order to perform per specs.
The downstream canister is just an absorbing material silencer, which needs to be repacked from time to time.

I would remove any wrapping, because that changes the dynamic inside the resonating pipe, due to reduced cooling of the expanding gases.
