Default Heat sleeve for clutch hydraulic line

Has anyone had any positive results from putting a heat sleeve on their clutch hydraulic line to keep it from being heated up by the exhaust causing a stiff pedal? I'm thinking of doing this but wanted some opinions first.

There isn't a negative to doing that, even if you've never had a problem. I even put some over my tick master line even though it comes with some already. It can be a bitch to slide it all the way up, but if it means you won't have a problem then it's totally worth it.

I can't remember the exact size but I'm pretty sure it's bigger than 1/2" Prob 5/8.

After the header install, I wrapped mine with high-heat aluminum tape and secured it with stainless zip ties. Easier than a sleeve.

I recommend a sleeve, it surely won't hurt.

Let me know if you want to pick some up, we've got it in stock by the foot.

I just bought one today. Thanks though.

I hope to rebleed it tomorrow and put the sleeve on and maybe fix this issue.
