Heat Shields

[Tom55]

Pondering over the idea of stainless steel heat shields, what are peoples thoughts on these?

[Mark_G]

Several options available - Leven, Steve Heath, Clive F (V8 enhancements) - all of whom will be at the growl if memory serves. I've got the Leven heat shield over the manifold by the air ducting - not totally convinced that it make a real difference to the performance, however it does look fine

For every bit of weight added you need more power... Is it a positive trade-off?

If you want something to shine, pick the ones you like most..

If its cooling of components you want I don't know if they are the complete answer? We all seem to have different ideas about heat management.

Hi Dave yes i think you are right.

When it came to choosing heat shields for my car it came down to appearance.

I guess they all contribute to shielding heat in the same way but as far as i am concerned they have got to look bloody good to end up in my engine bay IE very shiny and highly polished stainless steel.

I made my choice and its up to the individual to do likewise.

My under bonnet aesthetics is sort of governed by the rule.

BLING IS KING

So thumbs up to Clive
