Not sure how much it is as i had it from work but make sure you get the proper stuff as ive known people try and use plumbers lagging which looks similar but will set on fire .

If its the tunnel heatshield i would just take it off and heat wrap the exhaust like what I have done in my build thread. The shield just causes rust to form in the tunnel area. Your fuel lines are well out the way.
