Start with dynamat or similar on firewall. You also may have to get header wrap and wrap headers.

Plus , when it all gets fully broken in in will make less heat.

I have ceramic headers. Would wrapping still help?

No need to wrap them. Add dynamat to the firewall and floor and it will reduce the heat dramatically. In mine I have dynamat with a dynaliner over the sections of the floor and I never feel any heat coming thru the firewall or floors.
