Do the pants have a panel that is heat resistant so they don't melt if they touch the mufflers?

There is a layer over the trouser leg in the area that would make contact. I think it is to protect the leg from burn, may even protect the trouser as it is pretty think. Looks like Rino lining.

I use the heated seats in my jeep with these covers on. There is no problems with them. The covers don't melt nor do I see any other problems yet. I have used the heaters a few times, but so far there is no negative results.

I drive with them on all the time and have not had any heat issues, or any issues at all.

I do know know directly, but since they are LED's they should not get hot enough to melt plastic. I mounted mine on an aluminium plate using a grommet, this is the same Al plate that my tail lights are attached to. Since they are used at Back-up lights, they are not on very long, and only when the vehicle is in reverse.

No, the plastic did not melt. They lasted a long time, and were not too hot.

Not fully. They've gotten wet and survived on mine. But they ran a little different and noisier after I did.

The short answer is no. If you want to replace the exhaust gaskets it is optional. These were easy to install, just make sure you follow the instructions and be careful when you position the hose clamps on the heat shields. I have installed three sets previously.

I don't think so. You are going to want to keep the material away from the muffler until it cools.

Yes, but be careful, they crack easily with putting them in there...and, yet they still hold the heat for a long while.

They don't get hot like leather seats ...and i an not sure about if they will work week with heated seats but i can't see why they wouldn't.

Yes. On a hot day, you're back will sweat regardless of what they're installed on. I have regular plush fabric and they still cause me to sweat. But I do like them. My only complaint is they fade and stretch over time. But for the price, it is a great product. For the cleanest looking application, I would remove the head rests, install the covers without the headrests, cut small holes in the top for the headrest bars, the put the headrests over the covers. Looks more clean and the covers last longer.

Yes they are, they are stainless steel ceramic coated, it helps expel the exhaust gas without restriction and the engine will (should) run cooler

Steph , yes the heat shield can be usedto close off the engine compartment from the inner fender. This makes the most sense if something hot is close by like the exhaust etc. The only negative is that the shielding may be visible from outside the car as it is shiny. Missing inner fender seals and liners can be bought from the auto dealers and auto recyclers and being black and a direct replacement will not be noticeable.

They are designed to keep you from being cut while wearing...I know of no claim about being heat resistant.

They are not made of rubber and appear to be some type of polyethylene or a like product. They seem sturdy but should be kept away from exhaust pipes as they may tend to smolder or melt.

Well...Since it is December I haven't ridden at all. MY issue is that I am wondering whether or not to take the baffles out. It's easy to do.. Heat shields? Never seen em. They do get hot though.

I haven't had any issues with them they are installed in my pickup and I haven't had any issues with them getting to hot and I've had no complaints for my customers about them getting to hot!~Dubbs~
