The heatsheild temps will varry with the heat from the sidepipes and outside air temperature and flow over them. They are a clamp on deal, so it's not a life changing decision. You may want to change some of the hardware I used a lot of jam nuts to lock things up. Ny-locks and heat are not going to work. Self locking nuts(where the nuts are distorted) and stainless steel screws don't work . The soft stainless steel will gall ( transfer material) and then lock up permantly.
I appreciate the info Mike! Thanks. I am still debating about them, but will probably get them. Right now I am waiting on my new Clutch master so I can drive my baby! Tired of seeing her in the garage!
