It's going to help, but your ass is still going to be hot. I can't stand undertail exhausts for that same reason.

heat wrapping pipes supposedly shortens the life of the pipe....only real drawback and even then you wouldn't keep it long enough for it to be an issue

If wrapped correctly, they do a great job. What about a heat shield under the seat?
