FYI ceramic coating will still burn you bad. The heat shield is way more effective. However they usually do not cover the entire side pipe. Depending on the design, there can still be hot spots. So they are not a 100% solution. Patrick's blanket is a good solution.

The only 100% solution is under car exhaust, but heat shield and blanket should protect most mentally competent people. Toddlers and the mentally challenged can still get burned.

You as the owner need to keep an eye out for toddlers. Most young parents are so dazzled by the car they quit thinking.
