After i installed my downpipe on my new turbo setup, i realized that it was about 1/4 inch from the plastic on the bottom of the radiator. Does anyone have an idea on what i could use for a heatshield. Im not sure that exhaust wrap alone will be enough protection. Any ideas will help. Thanks alot.

 

i think exhaust wrap would be enough... a shield will just get hot too.

 

i have exhaust wrap on mine, works perfectly.

 

slo4dr, how close is your downpipe to your radiator?

 

my downpipe comes about 1/2 inch from my radiator and its fine - but mine is aluminum.

 

My rad is aluminum but I heat wrap my 3" DP that site right along side the entire radiator. it works fine. you can still touch teh downpipe after ripping
