Canister Too Big or tunnel too small?

The only canister recommended by DA and TBM for the TOC 33% Yak with DA85 is the KS95-4. Other cans said to be too small or fat. Mounted with the KS Comfort mount. What a PIA to fit in tunnel, and no clearance of can to wood of landing gear block. See pictures; only 1/4 inch clearance on top of tunnel box.

Do not want to cut or trim gear block or raise tunnel floor, but any other choice? What thermal blanket or sheild have you used to protect close wood structure?

Re: Canister Too Big or tunnel too small?

I've use automotive wraps for headers and self-adhesive versions - here is a good link for some heat shield products. Not cheap, but work great!

I used the 4" version on a DA85/KS1090 install and it worked great (right near the header).
