I use the split plastic cable guard. I cannot find the spiral type anymore. The kind I use is "ringed", but it has a split the entire length of the tubing. It is easy to slide over the plug wires to protec tthem. I use a tie-wrap at the end on the plug to keep it in place. It does not get anywhere near the exhaust and has never melted.
Radio Shack has spiral wrap in just the right size.
