Default Cobra sidepipe heat shields

Anyone running these on their hooker side pipes? I'm thinking of buying the satin finish set for my jet-hot hookers. Thanks....

John Rupp (Arkansas Flash) and I are using the Cobra heat shields for our Hooker sidepipes. I had to modify the the brackets to fit the larger diameter pipe, but John didn't have to. See previous post:

Thanks for the reply Mark. Im going to call tomorrow and see if they carry the hangers for 4" pipe. If not I'll fab up something and maybe try to get the shields closer to the pipes. I wish they made them a little longer. I think they would look a little better if they extended up to the collector. I'll try them and if I don't like them I can always send them back. BTW, your car looks good! :cheers:

But I really prefer the slotted (holes) better. I may just call them to see what the cost would be for some custom made ones. Thanks.. :cheers:
