Default there are no excellent aftermarket heat shields

the best one I have seen was just dave's...he also made one for Jaime.

Make some cardboard cutouts to test fit etc, and seal off the air box and snorkel entirely.

Default ......

mine is all stock...I haven't made anything. I have merely been stating what I *would* do.

And I would have to research materials that might be good for a snorkel/piping. Like aluminum or something. Light, cheap, and heat resistent would be my goals.
