Also, www.cobrastuff.com sells the more traditional "cheesegrater" style.

Bah, you guys are all wimps! I am guessing you got your first, 2nd degree burn and thats why your looking to buy some?

I'm planning to avoid any burns, so I don't have to put those heat shields on as I really prefer the pipes without the shields, plus I got the stainless steel hooker pipes (just black ceramic headers). Those stainless shields do look good and they will probably be my backup plan, but like I said, I really like the pipes without the shields the best.

I have them also and they are not very good at grading cheese

How about some custom shields
