a quick question, will removing all of the heat shields put any thing in danger of melting?? ive heard people say no and some say yes but to me the only one that might melt something is the header heating up the engine bay a bit.

 

i have no heat shields and nothing has melted on mine

 

not really...i have none also but i've heard that leaves and even plastic bags have started small fires by getting stuck to the exhaust but that can happen to any part of your exhaust

 

its fine there is no prob at all, your in cali so be ready for a cop to give you ****, stupid i know but they do

 

i took the heat shields off the converter on my 95 gsr because they were badly rusted.. drove it like that for quite some time and never had any problems... just got extra hot in the cabin during the summer lol

 

Anyone have a picture of what the heat shield looks like under the car? Trying to remove mine but can't find it.

 

its right on top of the 4 header pipes, right there, its just a shield, if you can see your pipers clearly then you dont have one. I dont have one, I dont think its needed, either way, the exhaust manifold and the heatshield both gets hot enough to burn you regardless...

there are heat shields under the car as well. there are two that cover the catalytic converter. these sometimes will rattle and make noise when they become rusty and the bolts won't hold them together anymore.

 

alright thanks for the info i took mine off but just had to make sure no problem would come up

haha he stays in compton.. I think having no heatshield on the exhaust manifold is the least of the cops worries

 

buddy got a reff ticket for it, stock everything on his civic and the cop said he had an illegal exhaust, san diego cops suck
