Will it fry?
Even though the cable and connector are made to take heat, it might get burned by the headers. I used a piece of galvanized sheet metal flashing to build a heat shield. I bolted it to the EGR cooler mounting holes (heater is in the 2nd freeze plug). It's been there about 15 years with no problem. I think the sheet metal does a pretty good job of dissipating the heat. The heat shield certainly doesn't hurt.
Good Luck.
