Be careful with what you use and how thick it is. Old water pipes used to have a layer of insualtion wrapped around them. Well, turned out it was thicker than the critical radius and the heat loss actually went up.

you can buy ACL heat sheilding on ebay for ~$50. one sheet (30x60cm iirc) will do a set of extractors easy. makes a big difference to underbonnet temps. i was worried once i melted my first brake booster (damn plastic EFs)

There is a guy on the other forums who is making a custom heat shield and he has calculated that it is going to cost between $120 to $150 per heat shield depending on the numbers he gets to buy them........
