Good By Excess Dog House Heat

Is this a Ford thing or ?
Had the 01 FW Conquest Chevy 7.4 and drove back East to DC and back to Ca. Never noticed any heat coming from the doghouse area at all ?
Have made a couple short overnighters so far in our new to us 05 FW Chevy 6.0 samething ?

Why not just pull up the floor, add a layer of Dynamat on the floorboards (both passenger wells, and under the doghouse) and replace the original flooring? It may not be as awesome as having heat shields, but it does help immensely with heat, especially under the pedals.

diazr2 Great....I was planning on wrapping the downpipes (after headers) on my 2012 V10 this weekend

When I owned my class C I didn't like the heat coming from the dog house. Soooo I got real cute and wrapped the headers in heat tape just like they use on the race cars.Very expensive material. Well it did reduce the heat to the dog house considerably. 3000 miles later I blew out both exhaust headers. Ahhh experience is an expensive teacher. Not saying that's a problem with the way you have delt with it , but just saying heads up.. :-)

And pictures...post some pictures. Please.
