I think Don sells this stuff and it goes by the name of "wet wrap".  They make it to cover piping of specific size and they make small blanket like affairs that cover the ex manifold and the turbo.  Hands down and end of discussion...this is a superb product that lowers the temp in the engine bay phenomenally, improves turbo performance and also extends the life of steel ex piping.  It is also out of the reach of most of us due to high cost.

I thought the stuff was made out of ceramic fiber that was impregnated with a water activated cement and was covered in a fiberglass cloth. Today I read something about a powdered volcanic lava substance.  What is the wet wrap made of?  The adhesive that makes the stuff get hard and keep shape...is that stuff a complete mystery?  I can get almost anything sewn for cheap that doesn't pose a BioChem hazard.

Surely with all the cranial capacity that we have here, and filled nicely I want to add, we can beat this system.  If we did I am certain oodles of Knuts would pile on.

Advance Auto sells a beige cloth type exhaust wrap that goes on with pipe clamps. It's cheap and works well. Exhaust pipe temperatures were melting the coolant reservoir on one of our school buses. I wrapped the pipe with this stuff and it cured the problem. You could put your hand on it with out burning.

John, Don sells the ATP Insulation for diesels not a wet wrap also known as Fire Blanket only difference in the 2 one is red in color and the other is silver.
I have the ATP system on my 8v92 and you are right they are pricey
