Re: Heat shield necessary?
 

Have you ever bought an aftermarket muffler that didn't have a welded on
shield like the stock one does? I'm looking at a few options (Dynomax,
Pacesetter, etc), but none have built in shields. In theory, they would
have the same problems as my muffler with the shield removed...

Ok, that's for hot foot, no worries.

The aftermarket parts are likely better quality so don't throw so much
heat off. Just a guess.

if it was structurally or safety wise needed, they all would have the
shield.

That is my impression. The stock ZJ muffler was made of some thin metal
but the Gibson you could probably run over without creating a dent.
