They're heat shields to help protect the stock wires. If you're going with MSD's you won't need to put the heat shields on...they won't fit and the MSD's are made of a more heat resistant material anyway.

your truck peels out more with the stock exhaust than the headers?

What do you mean? You mean the muffler coat paint peel off? There is no peels at all.

Meaning it spins the tires more with the stock exhaust on it, then with the headers.
