I've read several articles regarding the pros and cons of "wrapping" exhaust headers. Perhaps, someone can give me some advice. I recently installed a set of custom fabricated headers and cats on my 986 Boxster S. Unfortunately, the position of one of the headers now comes in close contact with a rubber engine hose of some sort. Is there a material that one could use that would shield the hose from the exhaust header. I would prefer to not wrap the header. Therefore, could I instead wrap the hose with the appropriate material ?

 

Check out jegs.com, they have a few heat shield options.
