Default Heat Shields

Fed up to the back teeth of burning great big holes in my 2wd turbo/downpipe heat shield. What other options are there? Another type of heat shield?

You could make one up in stainless, something similar to the pic below then use the sticky backed Thermotec stuff on it.
Thats what i have now done and seems to work well.
Also wrap the down pipe in heat wrap.
