Have your pipes 'jet hot' coated. I do not recommend the pipe wraps. Sheild the area around the footboxes, firewall, tunnel (near engine), etc with heat sheild. Self stick or spray adhesive. I prefer the heat sheild not in the passenger compartment but rather the engine compartment. Cover ugly heat sheild material with nice aluminum! You can just use aluminum (or other suitable material) for heat shield. The trick here is it must 'stand off' the material that it is designed to protect and air must be able to circulate between the two. This can of course complicate thing depending on the look you are going for.
