I’m looking for a shield for the header, my kid is melting his pants on it. Dang kid is costing me a fortune. 
 

Thanks

Yes, I should have stated that. It’s a stock pipe. 
 

I like the CMT carbon one, but can’t seem to find them in the US. Anyone know who the US importer is for CMT?

Try pro carbon, p3, crm also.   Most places ship international .

Same problem here. The Akrapovic full system has a guard on it but it is $1300 retail for the stainless header version.  P3 has this one but it covers the whole front of the header.

fmf sells something for their header but it says generic fit so I don’t know how well it will fit the megabomb header since they changed the shape for the 2023.

Make one... out of steel or Carbon Fiber. It's not rocket science. And, yes, those headers can be dangerous!     They get VERY hot. Fire one up in the dark sometime.
