Heat Insulation for wires
I want to wrap some things under the hood to protect against the heat the headers are giving off. I'm told the foil tape is not a good idea.
Does anyone know where I can buy the type of material that is around the o2 sensor wires? Are there other materials I can use? Please advise. Thank you.

Autozone/Advance sell little "booties" that slip over the spark plug wire ends, and could be used for other wires as well. It is basically header-wrap type material, but shaped just long/large enough to fit over the plug wire end.
You could also get a set of LS6 wires, as they had larger shields built into them.

Cuts down on the heat and no CEL for me with 600 miles so far.
