Default Firewall Replacement Material?

So, the rubberized firewall material and the aluminum foil coated fiberglass sections are more or less falling off on my car. The rubberized section is still on there pretty well, but the fiberglass is falling off to where it might come in contact with the exhaust. While I have the engine out, I'm going to rip out the damaged fiberglass material. What can I use to replace the fiberglass stuff? Is there a suitable replacement material for the rubberized section as well?

i used a combination of heat reflective dynamat like stuff and some heat insulation that kind of looks like carpet mat but has aluminum foil on one side. has worked well for 3+ years

i did have to cut a small section out of the foil though so that it would not contact the starter wires though

I used this stuff in the bellhousing tunnel. Seems to be doing the job O.K.
