<DIV>I think someone made a heat shield for their OTT, but I can't remember

<DIV>Keith took 1 look at that set up years ago, and proclaimed it a "bellows

<DIV>Those that are using them, are doing so because the price of stock
mufflers keeps going up, and everyone is looking for a cheaper
alternative.
