Heat shields are just metal plates that are fitted to the vehicle you can use any thin sheet metal found at any hardware store. But make sure that is the problem it it is overheating you could have the best heat shield protected car without an engine in the world.

Answer 2

You need to find a Drivability/emissions expert ck out your car. The

exhaust should never get so hot it does what you have described,

The Cat. converters may be getting overheated from a rich condition.

This will damage the converters which are very expensive.

Hello

Take straight to a garage it should never get that hot. If it did it would already have one fitted by manufacturer.
