Re: F'n Sidepipes... (GrandSportC3)
That's why I like these: 
A girl that was riding with me asked if it would burn her leg. I placed my hand on the ridged section and held them there for a almost five seconds and she placed her hand on them for a second or two. I wouldn't want to hold my hand on them for too long, but I think they were cooler than a piece of steel laying in the street on that 100ºF day in CA. The secret is that the shields are bolted to the body while the pipes are hung from the frame.

Re: F'n Sidepipes... (GrandSportC3)
instead of sidepipe guards that cover the beautiful chrome pipes, has anyone though of wearing shin guards. Besides, we'd be covering our roasted red/black legs. I don't know what would look funnier a Corvette driver getting out of his car with his leg on fire, or a Corvette driver getting out of his car wearing hockey equipment... with his leg on fire. :lol:
