Can someone point me in the direction of a replacement part for this guy right here?

9856

At some point I managed to find a stainless version of the same part, but I can't locate it anymore. If someone can please provide me with a few options to replace this part, both stock and upgraded versions, I'd appreciate it.

Far as I know, no one makes them anymore. Had a chat with Dave S a while back (possibly even on the forum but can't remember) who said that they were basically a federal "checkbox" item and aren't really necessary for anything other than keeping dry grass from catching fire if you park on it.

Hervey's cat has a built in heat shield, but other than that....

When I still had my old exhaust, I got one from Heninger:

Whatever you do, wear a mask when removing that old asbestos heat shield.

Or get it good and wet first. Or hold your breath.

I've actually still got my old cat heat shield and exhaust heat shield that I bought from Heninger a couple years ago that I'm currently not using. They didn't get much action since I upgraded to Stage II shortly after, so they're still in good nick. I suppose I could sell them if anyone needed them, they're just laying around here. They're made from Klingersil C-4433 fibers. PM if interested.
