I followed the Honda Insight guy's lead and wrapped my diesel exhaust in fiberglass insulation anywhere it was within 4 inches or less from the coroplast, it worked perfectly. You have to remove the paper backing so all you have is the fiberglass but to my surprise, no melted coroplast. I held it in place with aluminum tape at first and realized the adhesive might let go when it gets hot so I tied it all up with bailing wire. A year and about 2,000 miles later, no problems.
