Put exhaust into fiberglass?

Idea is to decrease temperatures under the cowling. It is good idea? Silencer and piper will not overheat when warped into fiberglass fabric?
Maybe use another material?

I wouldn't use fiberglass. I don't think it is rated for the heat. Too much insulation on the exhaust pipes can cause them to break.
Use regular header wrap cloth. Don't apply it to heavily. It should over wrap only by 3/8".
