removing heat shield?

[Oja]

I removed the heat shield to the exhaust manifold for appearance sake, and more room to get to the front engine mount. Well as long as the alternator power wires arent touching or close this should be OK, and alright if anyone else has done this reply and tell me if this is gonna be alright thanks

you actually like the look of a rusty header better?

like stated, you can remove it with no problems, but the extra heat shortens the life of componets. later.

Heat wrap your header, or paint them

Flat black painted A4 manifold looks MUCH better without a heat shield.

this is a stock h22a exhaust mainifold with the mounting studs ground down. Then i wrapped it and painted it with exhaust paint.

you can try to heatwrap the stock exhaust manifold but the pipes are really awkward and it would look ugly. you can paint it but the pipes are really awkward and it would look ugly. OR paint your heatshield black like it was on the cb7 prototype from 1989 that was featured on top gear in 1989.
