Pipe wrap like they used on the old harleys.. but just remember it will
eat the pipes in a few years.

Get a factory heat shield for a newer one. My 99 has one but you'll need to
drill holes to mount it. One of the Jeep web sites recently had a thread
where a person listed the part number.

It came along with a bunch of other stuff at a storage auction "Everything
in this bin - 4 dollars" so I don't know for sure.

A quick Google brought up this web site and it appears to be HVAC duct
insulation.
http://askdepot.com/online-162767.htm

I cut a piece and subjected it to a torch flame and the foam backing caught
fire. A second piece was undamaged when the flame was held several inches
away. The backing is similar to 3M mounting tape as seems water proof when
dunked in the laundry sink.

The shield on my WJ iappears to be a quilted aluminum or tin that is secured
with several screws. The shield startes shortly before the converter and
extends just past the muffler which is much larger than the one in Ed's XJ

I just posted some more pix of the WJ's heat shield into that same album.
