When i saw Stuart last year, I mentioned the heat shield/step setup to him.
He said with their new brackets, there is no problem with standing on them. He proceeded to step on the exhaust and jump up and down on them. I was standing at the front of the car as he did so, paying particular attention to the side panel that its bolted too. I was surprised that it did not flex.
When i queried this, he said it's down to their new brackets.
The exhaust in question is the one with bends in it.
Then again, i suppose it`s down to the support on the inside of the car. The issues isn't strength, it's that the exhaust and silencers get very hot. I doubt there are many (if any) M3W owners without an exhaust burn "badge of honour"

No burns here. The heat shields never get hot enough to scar.

I felt sure she still didnt have all the right flow, ie not maximum benefit, so out with the angle grinder and took the front pipe off, then removed all front plate perfectly and with no rough edges, got a pro welder to reweld pipes with my help ensuring by tacking first all lined up properly then a seamless job and polished, you would never know! it sounds absolutely brilliant now a deeper noise and I am over the moon with it, when you rev it she really feels freed up, pic is off the silencer after cutting her apart!

Very Hockney-esque with the feet in the bottom of the photo frame. Nice job on the exhaust also!
