My other problem is that that just reflects the heat, which still has to go somewhere or something else will cook. I'd prefer to dissipate the heat if possible.
I was thinking about a smaller bolt-on shield that doesnt focus too much on covering the exhaust below, but more directly covering up the coils and reflecting the heat that rises up off the exhaust away from them, but not trapping it.

Brace yourselves: shitty mspaint inbound

Something like the above. Could have a hole drilled where the coil bolts in so you install the shield with the same bolts.
