[urq] Hot Start/Thermal wrap

Just removed my downpipe...well, as much as I can with everything
still in the car. I'm having fairly regular hot start problems. When
it's hot outside, and I drive hard or in stop and go, the car won't
turn over. With a jump, it starts fine. Thanks to somebody's
suggestion, I'm assuming that it's the starter absorbing heat...so I
figured I would wrap the exhaust with one of those thermal wraps to
help keep temperatures down, and maybe vent the hood, but that's way
off in the future.
Anyways, I can't quite get the DP all the way out of the car. Being
that it was night, I was alone, and I don't really know what I'm
doing, I left it halfway out. Should I wrap it as far as I can?
It'll cover the portion nearest the starter, but not all the way up to
the turbo. Should I continue to try and remove the pipe so that I can
wrap the whole thing? Will it matter? Will it work?
Thanks in advance,
-Andrew
