Manifold/ABS heat shield

[LK Drifter]

I've recently fitted a stainless mainfold and im worried about the heat around the ABS unit. Is there any heat shields on the market that I can buy off the shelf, or is it somthing im gonna have to make?
I've had a search around but cant seem to find anything.
Any help would be great.
Thanks.

pretty sure it's something you're gonna have to knock up yourself.

Does heat-wrapping the manifold make much difference or is a heat sheild still advisory?

 

[LK Drifter]

Not sure really, thought about wrapping it but hearing mixed reports.

Depending how much you wanna spend if anything....

Cheers Ian, Although your slowly financially breaking me!

Does look bloody nice though!

They are nice huh :nod: i wanted one as soon as i fitted the manifold.

I got a price off them a while back at $220aus so not cheap

 

[LK Drifter]

Nice price, bit much me thinks. What have you done mate, with regards to a heat shield?

 

[Roots82]

I haven't done anything, i went out for a real hard drive, got the car really warm then felt the abs unit and it wasn't hot at all, i think its made from aluminum or something as it hadn't absorbed the heat....

i did think about getting something like this and making something out of it haha

I had the Top Stage shield on my S15. Fitted straight on :thumbs:

You really need to shield the brake lines on the firewall too. You'll get fade from the heat when you're pushing it.

I've sent Top Stage an email, see what they come back at with postage.
