Right now the cats are covered by two cat shields made out of aluminum. Those seem perfect, since they are actually designed to withstand the heat. If I were to ever cover the muffler, it would be with something similar, i.e. a thick sheet of aluminum. But at this point I'm not certain I would even gain that much from it.

I used to use chicken wire over air inlets, but this new design doesn't have any on the underside. And I've learned the benefit of leaving outlets open to clear water and debris.
