Header insulation

[dzorde at aesprodata.com.au]

     I have found asbestor wrapping tape to be the best.  However, don't 
     buy it from a performance shop as they will charge a fortune for it.  
     I usually get it from a good hardware store, because this stuff is 
     also used for insulating water pipes in buildings to stop them 
     freezing up.

I'd like too insulate my exhaust header down to the O2 sensor so it won't 
cool off and get better gas mileage( that's my theory anyway) Does annyone 
have a simple recommendation for something effective? I've thoght of the 
asbestos muffler wrap stuff but I don't think it will retain the heat in 
very well. This for an 81 528i BMW.
