self sealing silicone tape. Talk to banzaitoyota. There is also some heat shrink materials that are made to withstand high temps. Contact Raychem.

Best way to go would be heat shrink the wiring then cover it in exhaust wrap. This would provide the best heat resistance and would not be very expensive. But it may be a little unsightly.
