It may be 195* inside that hose, but it's sure a lot hotter on the outside

I think that theory has some basis in truth, but you'll still destroy the heater hoses eventually.

Take a cup and fill it with water, take a torch to the side of the cup. It won't burn. Kinda creepy actually.

I have experience with this. Even nice full silicone ones. I'd shield them if possible. DEI makes some nice heat shield sleeving that works well. Spendy though.

I bought the Begi turbo heat shield. Looks almost too pretty to put on

Hopefully it fits well enough to actually put on after you decide it's not too pretty.

so it doesn't fit

I don't think a single person under the sun is surprised

I'm actually impressed they sent you the part in the first place

BFH to fit a simple heat shield. Solid.
