Heat shields for the rear bumper that AREN'T carbon fiber?!

[Nemesismachine]

Is there such an item available on the internets??!!

If so, do you have a link?

[turboshad]

I haven't see any but I would have to say they aren't neccessary unless you just want it for looks.

[Nemesismachine]

I want it to save the plastic sideskirts. I am planning for 3" side exit exhaust.

[minigts]

Not to incriminate myself on my ghettoness, but I had 3" exhaust dumping out the side using only plastic zip ties to hold it in place. I don't think there will be a lot of heat that can damage the skirts, but I can see how you'd want to be as cautionary as possible.

[OmniLuvr]

the only time mine burnt was while i was welding the tip on, the other setup i kept it aluminized tubing, and it never burnt

I had a 3" exhaust exiting under the GLH side skirts on my Horizon for years with no issues. I think Reeves is set up that way too.

[turbodaytona87]

No issues here with side exit.

What about building your own using some thin gauge stainless?

^ what he said, and WTF did u find CF heat shield? i want some lol.

[Nemesismachine]

If you look up heat shields, all there you see is CF.

[tsiconquest88]

news to me lol, all i ever see is tin/metal heat sheild, assuming u mean a google search?

[Nemesismachine]

Yeah. I was looking to tin/aluminum/stainless shields, but CF is the new ricer fad and everyone seems to be moving that way. :boo:

wrap the pipe with header wrap in that area.

it will only melt the skirt if it:

1. touches it for an extended period of time

2. the exhaust blows directly on it.
