I've been reading about these heat issues, I think this might be an answere. Mcmaster Carr has this part# 8498K35 they have several different types of castable ceramics that have all sorts of properties -200 + 7000 deg F and this stuff is really strong, it cures room temp after 16 -24hrs depending on the type you buy. So what I'm prposing won't necessarily keep your exhaust from cracking do to improper fabrication, maybe we could cast a box around the exhaust to keep the radiant heat out of our cowlings. Maybe???
