Default Engine Room Heat and Burn Reduction

Has anyone used an exhast manifold wrap in your engine room?

Seems you can not get any good asbestos any more so the best wrap on
the market is DEI fiberglass wrap:

Seems like the way to go..any other suggestions?

It's actually on my list of things to do... check the exhaust pipe for
damage. According to the previous owner, it wasn't replaced with the highest
quality, due to lack of availability of the replacement part and time
constraints/location of the boat. It seemed fine when I looked on the
weekend, but I didn't unwrap the insulation.. it was wired on. The previous
owner claims that it's "easy" to undo the wire wrap, but I didn't have time
to try it.
