Not Ranked
Running a 351W, roller cam, aluminum heads, ceramic coated headers, sidepipes, and heatshields.
Can't categorically say safe for kids as all I have now are grandkids.
However, after 2 years, and 14,000 miles NO legburns, NO melted clothing, and I can put my hand on the heatshield with the engine running. The top is warm (convection), the sides are cool (no radiant heating).
Local welding/fab shop made them for me because they're not commercially available. Perforated low carbon steel sheet 7" x 40" rolled to 4 1/2" dia, then coated. Brackets are aluminum stock w/stainless screws. 4" stainless hoseclamps, 2 per side, hold them on (TrueValue Hardware). Easy to get off for cleaning.
A lot of spouses and significant others at DVSF II, & III inquired of my spouse as to their effectiveness, so there is a demand for these things.
Have photos if you send me e-mail address.
