especially bad as it is large and up high, whereas a stinger or glass pack

When looking at Ron's OTT setup from Kymco last month, I noticed that that
muffler looked like it *may* have had a heat shield integrated into it, this
would help.

Mine (the ISP version) has no heat shield. Has anyone tried the header/exhaust wrap? Mid-America's catalog claims lower under-the-hood temps, but the stuff is pricey @  $49. I figure I could at least wrap/isolate the header, though there's no way around the toasty bellows. Tin foil perhaps...?

Thanks!
