on a jeep 4.0 the intake manifold gets as hot as header they are so close, shield it

Not sure if anyone has seen a straight six on a 4.0 jeep but on my 95 i have no heat shields on the ehuast aftermarket header or on the bottom of the intake manifold. i know the hotter the motor usually the better fe. But this thing really gets a lot of heat soak would you do a thermal wrap on the bottom of the intake? I was going to wrap the header but nixed that idea and dont want to ruin them by rotting out so what about the intake? i have a WAI already getting warm air off the header just curious if intake is getting wayy to hot or is it a good thing. It has to come off this weekend anyway to replace gasket and ceramic coat the header.

thanks guys, photo below of how close they are

so what do you think keep the intake manifold cool or let it get as hot as the header? what is best for fe
