Just got my FIGS heat-shield via FedEX today. Not a huge deal really, but its the first "mod" I've done to the car since i got it, so I'm excited. I got the black anodized one since it matches pretty well with everything else. Really nice piece, great fitment, how it should have looked from the factory... If it really does keep intake temps slightly lower then I'll be ever happier.

nice, mike makes some good stuff.

next use photobucket and you can post them in here so we can see them without clicking on each one individually

 

where does said shield go?

 

nice...always wanted one of these...let us know how it goes..like does it rattles when the car is running?

 

It goes over the exhaust manifold.

 

sakataj: thanks for the heads up, pics are fixed, and added a few more angles for everyone to see.

i will keep everyone posted how it holds up over the next few weeks as far as rattles and such go.

 

Thanks again for the order and I will follow this thread as well for further data collection

 

Looks very nice! It sure looks better than the old Injen intake manifold cover I had. I'm sure it fits better too!! Congrats.

 

I'm waiting for the installation of mine this weekend normally

Denis.

 

Very cool! Didn't even know something like that existed! Cool upgrade!

 

What is the benefit or gain in having this heatshield?

 

It shields the air intake from the heat coming off of the extremely hot exhaust manifold, and can also be used to mask your header pipes(which are illegal in Cali)!

 

Update: Heatshield is great, still retains its nice finish (no fading), and not one single rattle of any kind since i installed it.

+1 for FIGS Engineering

 

only if they not carb certified....although since i dont live in cali i dont know if anyone makes some that are.

 

Sakataj, you remind me of Madden...he says the most obvious things on the game....lol
