Thoughts on adding heat sheild...

2010 6.4l Auto..

While I was adding an external transmission filter (dieselsite one) I noticed several of the transmission components had heat shielding.

This made me think I know the exhaust is really hot coming out of these babies and was thinking it might be a good idea to use some heat shielding from at least the turbo exhaust to the DPF to keep other items under there cooler and with the increased heat might help a little with performance/gas.

What are you thoughts on this?

Item I was going to use:
HeatShield 170002 Heatshield Armor 1/4" Thick 6" x 10' Exhaust Pipe Heat Shield : Amazon.com : Automotive HeatShield 170002 Heatshield Armor 1/4" Thick 6" x 10' Exhaust Pipe Heat Shield : Amazon.com : Automotive
