Seems like there has to be something already made for trucks/tractors that would work.

Another alternative is buy a 5" stainless exhaust pipe off of eBay. Split it down the middle and fab up some way to mount it.
Thanks. I checked out shields but did not see the stand-offs?

Yes, 36". I like the longer shield because it covers the side tube/collector connection.

Another for http://www.steelshields.com/corvette. Gonna get these when I get off my butt and finally order. If you can find some pics of Baja216's car I believe he has the "corvette" Steelshields. For now, I tucked a hand towel under the door sill plate so if the wife is wearing shorts, she can flip it out over the sidepipe to get in and out. I never wear shorts so

You may want to check out powerportalproducts.com. They'll cut them to whatever length you need and they can powder coat them in different colors
