Additional information

This engine exhaust pipe shield installs over the exhaust pipe and acts as a barrier between hot exhaust components and nearby engine parts. Part number 951-11111 helps manage heat around the exhaust area during normal engine operation.

If the shield is missing, cracked, or loose, surrounding components may be exposed to excess heat. You may notice heat damage to nearby parts, rattling noises from a loose shield, or visible exhaust components without proper coverage.

Disconnect the spark plug wire before starting the repair to prevent accidental engine startup. Allow the engine to cool fully before handling exhaust components, and wear work gloves to protect against sharp edges and residual heat.
