Not the kit just themugfler heat shield. These one for sale used on fb and was wondering if it was an easy install on a 2015
Can you post the picture?

It WILL fit...Many of us with 15s have installed the full kit with the hardest part being the radiator shroud install.
They listed a different number for 15s because they came with a smaller battery to make up for the added weight otherwise the kits were identical. Not sure what price you saw on ebay BUT the whole kit from Polaris was only 99 bucks when it came out. -

Just my thoughts...if you wrap the pot belly stove...the heat will build up and stay there...if you insulate the cock pit floor the moving air can help cool the stove...

I just changed my exhaust to the welter duels and my floor is still hot and the tunnel now because the pipe runs through it...
I have this insulation kit....I was waiting to see what the new exhaust would do for the heat issue.....I’m going to install the insulation package shortly....
Watch the install video to see what you get in the package and where it goes...

The muffler shroud is just a block to the cockpit side...It's not a wrap around and has an air gap between it and the muffler. The heat kit you posted is a good kit BUT you still get the top part of the muffler throwing heat up and to the sides especially you don't have a radiator shroud.

The muffler shield, along with the exhaust manifold shield, (GM P/N #12633413), combined does a pretty good job of containing the heat from the passenger compartment the upper engine bay. Before their installation, after a long run you couldn't even touch the surge tank, after installation of both shields you can now hold your hand on it. In the early days the surge tank like to split and leak, I wonder why?
