Hi Dan,
check out the fold out exhaust pipe covers at copper star products. They fold out over the pipe when you get out & completely cover the pipe. There is a photo log on the website showing how they work. I have had the "Bite Blocker" on my car for the past 2+ years & my 4 year old daughter who is now 6 has never burnt her legs & she slides out over the pipes on her own. Go to thier website
www.copperstarproducts.com to see how they work. There is no comparison to any metal shield. Take Care, Bisbee Kid
