Default Heat Shielding for CAIK/IC piping?

Can anyone point me in the direction of the above? I'm after it to wrap my CAIK pipe with to mainly prevent heat build up mainly when static.

Cheers.

I used the foam backed foil that gets put behind house radiators to stop heat loss. It's held in place with sticky backed foil.

I'm sure there is a "motorsport" version out there that costs 10x more though.

what about the heat wrap used to do exhaust manifolds.

Isn't that designed to keep heat in the exhaust, rather than reflect it out? I'm sure it would have an effect on the piping - I'm just being awkward I think!
