ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

Read them. You will be expected to follow them.

    removing heat shield?

    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.

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

                    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.
