My headers and side pipes get hot when running . I had melted a large hole in the right side of my shorts recently when they breifly touched momentearily. The car was jacked up about 2 feet off the floor and I was reaching over the fender to operate the throttle. I'm also warry about leaving the car set over any part of the grass I may want to keep when it is still hot. I did that a few times than noticed the dead grass pattern matched the engine and sidepipes. It would be affective for controling the grass in the center of the alley. I also use the perforated SS sidepipe heatsheilds from FinishLine accessories.

Remember every descission has a consequence.
