Default stock heat shields on aftermarket downpipes?

What heat shields do you guys use on aftermarket downpipes? I reinstalled the stock heat shields on my APR downpipes but there's a large gap without the stock upper cat. I wonder if heat wrap would work better and give more clearance.
thanks

Default I left mine off and plan on using heat wrap eventually.

I have the AWE ones.

Default I have heat wrap AND modified stock heat shields on LaBrees

It works I guess, but difference in underhood temp is so minimal that it is probably not worth the time and expense
