Despite a great job with the "space blanket: in the tunnel (installed by Manny), I still got some heat leakage in the center console. I took it all apart this evening (proud of myself as this is a first for me) and laid down some heavy duty dynamat stuff with aluminum foil backing. I will be curious when I take it out (maybe tomorrow).
Heat from the center console

Why don't you ceramic-coat your pipes through the center? Or are they already done?
Might be worth looking at.
Nice work on getting those bad-boys out yourself, BTW!!!!

Problem solved!
xlr8r, the headers are already ceramic coated.
I got me some good ole Dynamat with aluminum backing and took apart the center console. Amazing how little there is by way of insulation. I laid down two layers and now the armrest console and lock where most of the heat came from, are merely slightly warm.

Thank you Manny. I admit to being a bit nervous until I found a great DIY site. Took all of 40 minutes.
Anyone with a heat problem on the center console glove box, this is the thing to do. Here is the link I used.

I've noticed the heat, but only when my leg touches it. So far it hasn't bothered me too much, but it's nice to know there's a solution in place if it does.
