Was wondering if wrapping the cats with heat tape (like ThermoTec tape) would reduce the engine compartment temperature.

So there is a downside to all that Californian sunshine.
No experience of high engine compartment temperatures over here

I'd expect the greater heat source would be the manifolds rather than the cats.
