Hey guys,

I'm after some opinions here. Obviously the more clearance the better, but I'm concerned about my paintwork on the hood of my car.

I have a turbo manifold that clears the hood by approximately 10-12mm. The manifold is ceramic coated and header wrapped. I have removed the factory hood liner (as it sagged and rubbed on the manifold).

Since this is a new build - the car hasn't been driven for very long with the hood closed so I havent experienced the kinds of temps a turbo manifold might get to.

I'm interested in your thoughts on having the hood this close to the manifold?

Thanks!

 

Get the gold heat reflector withstands 800 degree of constant temp and 2000 degree of radiant heat... And it's like a sticker put it on the inside of the hood

 

Thanks very much for this info - I ended up purchasing some DEI Reflecta-Gold heat reflector. I will be doing the inside of the hood with it.
