    Stage I Heat Sheild?

    I was wondering if anyone offers a heat shield for the Stage 1 set up. I bought a Stage 1 exhaust couple years back and it did not not come with it and while flipping through pictures for another project I noticed there should be one there.

    The heat shield is a OE part, not just a stage I or II. I think it's made up of asbestos with some type of reflective covering.

    I tried but I couldn't find it in the website.

    EDIT, found it, looks like it's a redesigned part now.

    That's great! So they are designed to use the original set up shield (updated of course) I'll grab one asap. Thanks!

    I believe that Heart shield is for an OEM exhaust. My buddy Ryan with a stage one needed to get replacement heat shield for his stainless exhaust because it deteriorated. He was able to have an all aluminum heat shield made. It's essentially just a rectangular piece of aluminum.

    That it is. And don't wait too long like I did, the heat ended up causing a leak behind my crank shaft pulley, drying out the rubber seal.

    i think the original heat shield is different and won't fit with your exhaust setup. i have both. I'll check and see if what the differences are when i have a sec
