Just use some kind of a heat sleeve or header wrap. Hoses do get hot. I'm working on sleeving my fuel rail and other related hoses.

Talking

I guess that would be an idea,but would affect the rubber being wrapped(collect moisture?)...Plus I think it would look better relocated into another direction,but then again so would the motor LOL!
