Question How to protect wiring from heat?

I have a couple spots where I have to run some wiring near my exhaust. What can I use to protect the wiring from the heat?

Alot of places sell heat protective wrap, there's the one that comes as a tube or the tape stuff.

Agreed, wire loom is useless for heat protection.
I'll have to go to the auto parts store and just see what they've got.
