No i never use one. I think unless there in mint condition that look shite, carbon ones look pretty good, seeing the pipes looks better :grin:

:plus:
Don't think I'll ever put mine back on either, unless I manage to get a nice carbon one. Much prefer to see the pipes, especially if they are nicely polished.

On the NC30 I did fit one as it was fitted with half system of Laser Jama, no space left for it. Then got fitted full ethos system and find the pipes needed to be seen.
Now on the NC35 I took the shield off when I fitted the WR's battle step kit. The TSR pipes do not allow to fit the exhaust shield (I tried it with an nice carbon shield I got some while ago, but no real space for it so sold carbon piece), but hey...titanium pipes must be visible of course! :mrgreen:

Rhory, you are right. It is not the pipes but it's the WR's that fouled the space for a heatshield. ;)
