    I made standoffs that use hose clamps. If you dont have a welder, I would bolt the shield to a piece of aluminum angle iron and then clamp the angle iron to the exhaust pipe using hose clamps. Then you can bend the ends of the shield to follow the pipe

    I thought the same, but many have said it's not good to use where it can get wet/dirty.

    OP best bet may be to as another commented make a headshield for the actuator itself or get some reflective heatshield tape and put it on the actuator itself

    I did an exhaust wrap on a few vehicles/sport quads/MX bikes with great results.

    I am definitely doing this on my tow rig. When the truck goes into regeneration for the DPF filter, it can raise my trans temp by 25-35*F.

    I'd either make an aluminum shield or wrap the actuator in something like this.

    I definitely wouldn't use the fiberglass wrap in a state that uses salt or other harsh chemicals on the road. That combined with the heat of the exhaust is asking for rust.

    Put a temp gun on the exhaust and see how hot it actually gets there.

    No prob. I'll be getting them myself soon with any luck. I found a shop very close to home that does custom exhaust work.

    Don’t get the wrap heat shields, they accelerate corrosion on the pipes. Make a DIY heat shield box around the plastic transmission box with aluminum flashing attached with stainless zip ties. I also made one with it to extend the existing one under the driver’s side floor between the left second cat and the 1st right angle bend.
