muffler heat shield
Anyone know of someone that makes or can make an exhaust heat shield for a Vance and Hines Muffler? I recently had entire exhaust powder coated gloss black and everything is fine except the right side muffler is starting to fade where it connects to the head pipe. Nothing major, just starting to turn flat black, gloss is fading. I am looking for a tapered shield about 3-4 inches long. Just want to cover the beveled area to where it connects to head pipe. Head pipe heat shileds start there and they are working fine. I have searched online and cant find anything that will work. I did find some custome made ones on ebay, but they were bought as bulk from a guy that went out of business. I know it can be done, just have to find the right person. Finish is not important, I will have it powder coated black. Any help would be appreciated.

see if you can find a f-ed off pipe of the same model and cut it?
as for the gloss goin flat...got any chrome polish or any other super fine polish? I take watered down chrome polish and buff up my heatshields when I want them to shine some. They're done using Rust'O BBQ Black, flat, but can actually shine pretty good. Then I just do fine steel wool to go back to satin or flat when I want to.
