Easy DIY job.
I have a 438 HP V8 with Dual 2-1/2 exhaust running through my Miata's drive-shaft tunnel, and it's cool as a cucumber inside the car even in Arizona Summer. The reason, as I campaigned my car on roadracing courses (Track Days) back in it's Stock 4 cylinder days, the heat was miserable from the floor (gas pedal foot and tunnel) I found a Company in Florida called Hy-Tech Paints that sells elastomeric paint with ceramic particles in it for Heat Insulation purposes. A little research and I found this is the same ceramic material used in the Space Shuttle's Tiles.
It Works Great and is only $36.00 US a Gallon. Great Heat problem solver. NOTE I did spend more than that replacing Boots, Gaskets, seals and under carpet insulation, the paint solved it, even with my big V8 NOW!
