Header wrap...know where to get some locally?

I am looking for some exhaust pipe wrap. I saw on JSC's website they had Thermo-Tec in graphite (black) and copper colors available. If someone could point me to a local shop, preferably in the San Jose area that carries this, I would appreciate it.

Thanks!

Hasn't it been said that header wrap on some headers will cause cracking due to too much heat being kept inside? Sorry I don't know any shops in the SJ area, don't mean to hijack, I was about to pick some of this up, too, but I thought it had some nasty side affects.

I'm not using it for headers nor a downpipe. Further back down-stream. Thanks!

be sure to keep an extinguisher in the car! I've seen too many instances of thermal wrap catching on fire, so be safe.

Thanks for the tip. After paying a visit to the Speed Merchant yesterday, I decided to just use heatshields instead. I appreciate all the quick responses though!
