How do you suggest keeping the underwood temps down?

Do the downpipes and wrap them, get turbo blankets, upgrade the hood to power dome plus vents.
I have also considered punching holes in the middle firewall plastics at the top when I go and replace them.
(Replacement required as the heat over time made them brittle enough to snap and fall on the downpipe covers to then melt into a stinky black goo pool that smoked at every spirited drive.)
