I guess that a combo of the bracket and sleeve would be the most hi-tech way to go...

Mine lay against the manifolds since they are flipped now. I wrapped them about 3-4 times with header wrap since there is no room to hold them away from the manifold. They have been fine for about 15k miles.

Did you notice any performance improvement after wrapping your headers?
