AFAIK high temperature grease only works up to about 600C so you would fry it on an exhaust manifold.

I usually use one of the copper greases - Copaslip or something similar - the idea is that even though the grease evaporates/burns off you are still left with the copper particles to provide some lubrication.

I think it may well be the only option, if it's good enough for brake parts it should be fine for exhaust bits.

Failing that, try a dry lubricant, like graphite powder, also available in a stick form.

Dont get any on the actual sensor though, as it may damage it.
