I have seen all the options posted for tunnel heat solutions but have not seen any post with this product. This product clamps onto the exhaust pipe and provide an air gap.
The winter project is pulling interior out and applying more sound deadener from seats back and heat protection on the tunnel.
I considered added a second stock tunnel plate with spacers to create an air gap but that doesn't cover the sides of the tunnel, which you can feel inside.
I like this product because it isn't a "stick-on" and my concern is the thicker plate with insulation reflects some heat but also traps it inside the tunnel after a long drive.
I ordered 1 unit to see if it will fit and will get more if it does.,

This should help, but exh heat is only one part of the problem. A lot of heat comes from the torque tube.
I dropped the exh, removed T plate, insulated the inside of the tunnel above & either side of TT . Insulated the inside of T plate, reinstalled it, then insulated the bottom of Tplate & lower tunnel sides. Reinstalled exhaust. Probably 75% reduction in heat.
I installed an Elite Engineering 1/4 inch tunnel plate with ceramic coating on one side and a composite thermal pad on the other. It solved my problem with heat migration from the exhaust pipes on my 2012 GS.
Got the exhaust pipe insulation installed and do believe it will be effective. There is just enough clearance to install it w/o removing exhaust.
Hardware is stainless steel and has air gaps on both sides of insulation.

let us know of the results also am looking at where I can buy insulation for inside the arm rest compartment and cup holders.

Also curious of it's effectiveness. Trying to avoid pulling interior out. #1 complaint of my C6 is cabin heat.
I live in South Dakota so it will be a few months before I can test it.
I did the full interior out and insulation on my previous C5. The insulation helped but I didn't like how the carpet, console, seats fit together afterwards. Seats were tight against the carpet, etc..
