Why not use dynamat type material for the tunnel itself, then pipe insulation (like what a plumber would use) around the coolant pipes?

I'm open to just about any product that works well, but it all has to work within the limited confines of that tunnel.

I bought fiberglass header wrap (in Ford Blue - like anyone would see it, but I thought it was cool), but your sleeve looks clean!

So what are the rear radiators? Gearbox cooler and oil cooler?

I found some fiberglass sleeve with a silicone jacket on amazon. I'm putting this on all the tubes down the center tunnel.
