Exhaust Heat Shield Method

Recommended Posts

Here are some shots of the shielding I made for my "cats", on an S30, LS2. The aluminum is .050", type 3003, the heat cloth is Thermo Tech, which is adhered to the aluminum with clear silicone (I used part of a tube in a caulk gun).

 

I avoided using a spray adhesive which are often… (mostly) highly flammable. I've heard of car fires due to just that. BTW, I can't take credit for this idea, Pegasus Auto Racing clued me.  The silicone is great to work with. It dries quickly, but it gives you enough time to reposition. I also sealed the edges of the cloth with the silicone to keep liquids from soaking in.

 

I wasn't going to post this, I'm sure no one else is running cats like this… but what the he!!, might as well get it out there and maybe help someone, somewhere!
