I would advise against header wrap as that is designed to keep heat inside. You want it shed or shielded from heat.....Something like this would work:

Dezod Motorsports. Heatshield Products Cold Air Intake Sleeve

Dezod Motorsports. Heatshield Products Cool Foil Tape

Dezod Motorsports. Heatshield Products High Temperature Thermal Barrier Cloth
