a working alternative

I tried to rig something for the header section since the orange products are all right handed (backwards).

I scrapped the Swiss cheese aluminum hose clamp shields and ended up wrapping the entire exhaust (short of the silencer) with Header Tape. It is a VHT proof fabric that you wrap like grip tape. seal the ends with thin steel bands (not hose clamps). Costs about 25$ U.S. for 25' , enough for 1 complete plus a few feet.

It is primarily manufactured for Drag Racing to keep heat in the headers which somehow improves exhaust flow. But it is a really good insulator that only adds about 4 mm to the outside dimension.

When wrapped with no exposed metal you can touch it briefly with a bare hand (even in front of the cylinder) and way too long with a gloved hand. I have not had a burn or any heat related damaged clothing since installing in 2003.

I believe it is rated at 2000 degree f. briefly and 1000 to 1200 deg continuous. I do know that there is a paint like coating that can be used to color it black, It is rated under 1000 deg by itself but 1200 if applied to the fabric
