Need a good heat shield (cutouts too hot)
Need a good heat shield (cutouts too hot) I pulled out my carpet, seats, spare, jack, etc etc. I have a cutout located right underneath my rear passenger seat (or where it used to be). It gets SO hot. My CD case actually melted to it. I am wanting to put my backseats back in since the weight is very negligable, but I don't want to burn any passengers. What would be a good heat shield to put underneath it?
Also, I plan on running my SLP LTs and SLP ORY with a bullet muffler at the end of the Y-pipe without a catback. Will it still be getting hot or will the bullet direct the heat downwards? If its still going to get hot, let me know a good heat shield. I'll just wait to see where the hotspot is. Thanks

His situation....leaky pinion seal + open cutout = grease fire! His interior went up in flames too!
A lot of the larger vendors sell all sorts of stuff to contain exhaust heat. Take a look on Summit, for example.
