Heat Shield.

[2000Si]

anyone running without a heat shield on their stock header?

I went to check my oil the other night and I couldn't tell where the hole was (yeah... I know, it sounds like a personal problem.)

Anyway, it seems to be 3 or 4 bolts. Is it alright to just take it off there?

It's fine to take it off...but the stock header ain't pretty.

don't care about that. Hopefully i'll have my dc header in the next 2-3 months anyway.

I think I'm a tear it off there this weekend. Thanks.

Its only a couple of bolts...Its the header thats a pain in the ass. I think there is a total of like 18 bolts Including the bolts to the Converter..

About an hour - hour and a half job.
