the cooling pipes.

Putting material above the cooling tubes, on the underside of the car, 
would be an undertaking, plus it would trap moisture and rust the chassis from 
the bottom up.

There are spray-on heat/noise barriers like Lizardskin which would be 
extremely effective applied from underneath, however.
