> how about you dont know shit about this either in the fact that the car DIDNT HAVE FUCKING HEATSHIELDS THERE MORON… i had headers on the car… they dont come with heatshields… and there are no stock heatshields on the PS lines. something would have had to have been fabricated and i was unaware of any such issues until flames started pouring out from under the car.

Adam retrofitted my stock heatshields to my perrin el header when I had it 🙂 I would recommend trying to retain as many heatshields as possible as the Suby engine bays are heat soak pigs. That is all.
