Dynomax makes a set of side pipes with heatshields. That may be an option. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 37 Junior Member | | Junior Member Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 37 | Just put them on a don't hook them up. If you want to you can weld them to the exhaust pipes but do not put any holes and they will get warm but will not burn anyone.It may sound Crazy but,thats what I did when my Kids were little.It looked Good but, I don't recall that many people looking underneath the vehicle to figure it out.

I like side pipes,and ran lake pipes (functional) on my '55 Ranch wagon for years.  FWIW-Every woman that rode on the back of my Harley,somehow,ended up "branded" on the inside of her right calf.  There quite a few ladies with my brand before I sold the bike,and many were repeat offenders.
