Hey, I was wondering if you guess could tell me if I would be able to put a Prelude Heat Shield on with my DC Sports Headers??

I have A Hybrid Accord.

 

go and get it welded on the header and you all set.
I wrapped mine instead.

 

no. it will not work.

 

Don't put it back on, it's useles weight... at least a tenth lost on the ¼mile!!

 

well.it got hot within the engine bay area.
I wrapped mine and problem solved
the bad thing about it is that you can void the
waranty of the header, rust...
heat shield is a good way to avoid the ticket from poo poo

 

Oh yeah, California... It doesn't get as hot here, and cops don't seem so repressive either.

 

why would you want a heat-shield?

 

1)it save your butt from getting a ticket..
2)to block off the heat :hammersom header do give
out alot of heat, which is bad for your car)
3)welding a heat shield to the stock bracket is cheaper
than getting a header wraps.
4)header wraps void waranty.
5)heat shield wont trap moisture as much as header warp
moisture=rust

 

and yeah..READ

 

Not a bad idea!

 

you can get a ticket for not having a heat shield???????

Welcome to the peoples republic of absurdistan

 

Thanks for all the Help, I'll Think I'll do the Header Wrap thing.............

The Main reason for me to Shield the heat from the header,
is so My AEM CAI Would acually have purpose.

And No one would get burned.....

 

Yo absurdistian..
do you think all the aftermarket header are legal?
ppl getting ticket for DC header here in SoCal,
sometime the best way is to fool the cop instead
of talking about it.
want a warm cup of stfu now?

 

settle down there tough guy

I'm not calling you absurd, just the government for a stupid law.

think I'll pass on the cup of stfu

 

heat shield + header wrap =


header wrap to keep the heat in the exhaust stream, heat shield to block the heat that does come off the header from the rest of the engine bay.

 

I think what he is saying is that the cops are too dumb to know about CARB #s and that they will just write you a ticket to meet their quota, and you have to waste your time going to court to show the judge your CARB #, when it's easier to just not get the ticket in the first place.

 

wrapped header with heat shield.

 

Yo rebeleadeR..
try to have the guy make you a custom bracket that you can screw
the heat shield to the stock braket.
dont weld it straight to the header(lol)
or on the stock bracket.
