You can get a fiberglass bandage, we use it at work as a heat proof gasket, i have used it wrap my oil cooler lines between my exhaust, the only down
side is the possibility of heat stress corrosion were the insulation gets wet and eventually it can cause the exhaust to crack, how are your mixtures,
i had a simailar problem and fixxed the issue by rejetting the carbs.

thanks for the replies, i think my jetting at idle is in the ball park, not sure, maybe too rich up top. i been reading about wraps on exhaust, i
think i bypass that n coat the tinware above the exhaust. is the fibreglass wrap just like the one at supercheap. i even thinking about ringing my
fireman mate n ask him about fire blakets

Asbestos tape is what us oldies use!
I read it on samba, so it must be correct.
Sometimes Volkswagen dealers sell spare parts. Amazing isn't it!

I wrote an article on this for the VW Club magazine back in 1997. It works well but will eventually ruin your exhaust headers.

What you'v done is better as the fibreglass wrap does prematurely wreck the exhaust no matter what it's made of. Ceramic coating significantly
reduces the radiant heat.

I'd like to know where you can get asbestos tape from as it is prohibited and totally illegal in Australia - for obvious reasons.

Just make sure you wet it down, seal it up, label it and send it to secure landfill

Hi
I used ACL Heat Shield that you can buy from Repco, any double skinning on the back of the rear apron will reduce heat.
Steve
HR140-GTR IS A REVOLUTIONARY HEAT SHIELD MATERIAL. Its construction, consisting of a ceramic filler sandwiched between two 0.15mm aluminised steel
sheets, gives a very efficient high temperature thermal barrier suitable for a wide variety of automotive and industrial applications. The unique
double corrugation design allows the material to be formed into complex shapes and ensures exceptional rigidity. This material provides excellent
performance in high temperature, noise sensitive applications. HR140-GTR material is available in a range of sizes.

MATERIAL SPECIFICATIONS
Construction: 2 x aluminised steel sheet with ceramic paper insert, double corrugated
