I accidentally touched my header once and you can still see part of my skin and fingerprints on the manifold. :ownedrun:

I should have gotten the dumbass of the year award for that one....:(

A buddy of mine saw my header and didnt know my car just finished running for a couple hours. He looked at my header and said " It looks real thick" then he grabbed like you would a broom or a bat. The whole inside of his head turned yellow and crispy. :dunce:

I deserve that award too as I have done the same thing.
I shut the car off and me thinking the header was cold I grabbed it with my hand
Well, let's just say that's one of the few times you'll see a black man turn red:ownedrun:

On one of my old turbo project cars the headers used to glow red when you beated the car... One of my buddies was like, hey what is that glow... I said what glow, and then it points... and touches, and then we went to get a large bucket of ice.

If your really hell bent on a heat shield, may be you could fab one up out of aluminum? Someone's got a tig. It may not look the nicest, but then again it could. Don't player hate, innovate......uhhhh ...sorry bout that last comment
