They make stainless "exhaust finishers" which are basically metal covers that go over the plastic exhaust shrouds. I've seen them on eBay as well as sites like mazdatrix and rotaryfx.

Why are your shrouds melting? If they are then you need a new exhaust. I have had several exhaust and never had that problem.

as long as you have some clearance you shouldn't see any melting.

Mine started to melt once I put the new catback on. I got out the dremel tool and opened up the hole. No more problems in 6 years.
