John, insulation is a good idea but the best way to prevent radiated heat is to use a heat sheld. The more space you can give it (on BOTH sides) the better. Feeding a small air bleed in the area to cary off the heat is also a good idea. The air bleed doesn't have to be big, it just has to keep the air moving.

Bill,  I have 2 tight 90 degree turns that I cut out of a SS donut.  For the short term, like until next January, I could use some temporary protection.  I looked at the Power Sport installation two years back and they used a complete shield on the exhaust pipe and it will take a lot of time to fabricate.  Was hoping to fly soon and finish the detail things next winter when the snow gets deep.  JohnD
