Heat Issue
Actually because they are mounted about 1/2 inch off the other shield they allow air to flow under and between them helping them actually draw heat away from the pipes - I've had them on long enough to tell you that i will never take them off - I have since mad a small triangular shield to cover the elbow section - They do more than just save you leg - Simple fix to a age old problem
I also installed the mid frame deflectors , 1" floor board extensions ,and straight threw louvered baffle slip-on mufflers - My next project will be a tank lift
