they are gonna be hot with or without them. the heat shields really just hide discoloration (blueing) but on black mufflers I guess that wont be a problem. be sure you get the heatshields back just in case you need them later.

Rush would have them. Or better yet take the satin heat shields that came with the Rush mufflers and have them powder coated. That would be less expensive. Send them to the powder pro, a great forum sponsor.

I haven't put heat shields on mine at all and it looks fine without any blueing or any other discoloration. They have almost 1,000 miles on them and they look perfectly fine. I'm real happy with them and I PERSONALLY don't think it would look very good with heat shields on them, but that's MY opinion. Do what you think looks good. There's really no need for them on the rush slip-on's. Good luck and if you decide to install some shields, post up some pics so we can see them.

I have the Rush slip ons with the heat shield and I love the look! YMMV!

I took off the stage 1 slip ons and the sound is night and day. Rush is much better!
