Re: heat shields

I actually haven't made any. It wouldn't be real hard, but it would be time consuming. If you want a nice looking one in the 2 ply that you were talking about, probably about 3 hours at $35/hr plus $50 -$60 in materials (2 layers of stainless, thermal wrap and stainless rivets). It would look really pimp, but Summit has something that is a heat shield blanket that I ran on my car. It is made for up to 2.5" pipe I think, but I cut it in 1/2 and used 2 pieces and it worked great on my 3" DP. I think it was about $60. It has loop holes in it to put hose clamps.
