On another note we debated the need for exhaust shields quite a bit on this thread. My conclusion was just what IND is saying above. A user installed heat sheild sounds like a darn good way to play it plenty safe with any aftermarket exhaust system. Link to that thread here. |
Thanks, I must have missed that thread. I am probably going to play it safe and get some sort of shield on my exhaust.
