Heat shields for sidepipes
Anybody know where I can get a decent length set for a reasonable amount of money?
The cobra ones are $200 and are only 27" long. Is this more of a standard length or is that too short? I'd like to find a set for 4100 or less if possible. Chrome of course.

Patriot makes them in three different lengths, about 40 bucks each. Check at Summitracing.

And I have the 27" ones. Take a look at my pics for more info. 27" is long enough that I won't touch the pipe getting in and out of the car.
BTW, only the ceramic coated are $200, cheaper for plain steel or chrome.

You know what would make a great picture to post is "W" in your sweet vette! See if you can arrange that! 
If not that, just park it on the rose garden this spring and get some nice shots (pictues that is, just before the shots come down from the roof!)

So Patriot makes shields for their 3" pipes but not their 3 1/2" pipes? That's pretty stupid.
