They do make extenders. They are called Spark Arms. Never used them but they seem like a a good idea. I think they run about 40 bucks apiece or so

You should try getting larger headers due to the limited size ports. Causing your stock headers to get too hot.

Larger headers will not do anything. The exhaust gas temp for any good running 4 stroke engine is over 1000 degrees larger headers will not make the temp lower it will just put the hot pipe closer to the boots.

You have stock Fox body headers? Get headers designed for the P heads.
