Joseph,
Would this work for you-
http://www.designengineering.com/category/catalog/design-engineering-inc/exhaust-wraps-accessories/titanium-pipe-shield They may not be wide enough for you but if it is something that could work, it is already constructed so you do not have to do the labor.
It should hold up at that distance but with that type of temperature you would want to make sure that you don't disturb the shield after it sees heat cycles. That level of temperature could crystalize the fabric. It will still insulate but if the fibers are disturbed, they may break down.
We do have 8'' wide exhaust wrap that you could use to easily sew a shield together, but the same thing would happen. Over time the heat would crystalize it. Since you have a good air gap, you could mount our Floor and Tunnel to the inside of your shield. You would need to make sure the mounting points are on something cooler, like the block, but the material should hold up. If you mount it to the exhaust, the heat would transfer to the shield and it may harm the adhesive.

Subject: Re: [Questions / Comments] Heat shield fabric
Dan,
I am trying to build a heat shield for SS headers on a Mazda P port rotary.
At full power the header will glow. 1800 degrees is the exhaust temp.
I need something that can take what ever the temp might be when positioned 1 inch or so away from the header.
I have a metal shield but space is at a minimum and I thought something flexible might work.
Another thought instead of sewing would be to pop rivet it at specific places using captured washers for support.
Thanks for any help

Dan,
Do you have any recommendations for the type of sewing machine and thread?
I would think that the thread would have to be able to withstand heat and the machine robust enough to handle the fabric.
Appreciate any help.
