The shields I have made in the past are 304 SS, but are solid not perforated. The ones with "holes" remind me too much of the "lil red wagon" pick up Dodge had back in the 70's or so..... I found that 3/8" stand offs were the way to go to keep the shield cool, with enough air moving over top of the sidepipe. My shields also you could lay your hand on it and not get burnt. The trick here is to transfer ALL the heat from the sidepipes, to the attaching cap head bolts (2- small round head). These are the only area to avoid touching, plus it's easy to take off the shields to clean the pipes without taking all the brackets off......Shields can be polished, coated, or chromed.......... Unlike Jack21's these are not inexpensive, but do the intended job and look great. To do this on a sidepipe with a muffler "bulge" takes a little more doing. Basic sizes I did were 7.0" X 21.0" X 16Ga.304SS, or 7.0" X 31.0" X 16Ga. 304SS. ALL hardware was also SS..........No rust.......JCL
