There are some metal shield that they claim the you will not get the snake bites and you can paint them with exhaust black paint.
Look closely and you will see the metal marked by the wrapping.

I wondered if there was a downside to retaining all that heat inside the wrap. It's not like the wrap reduces the temperature, it just keeps all the heat in there.
