I bought a 36 X 46 inch piece of heat shielding from PEP-BOYS. I have seen some other types and used other types on race trucks. I don't have the money for all that.

So I laid it out and cut manageable strips. I think it came out okay. When I came home last week i could have scrambled eggs on my intakes. No matter what the volume of air flow is, it has to effect the air temperature going into the engine. Especially with a Gen 3 intake, tubes are supper long.

I have seen discussions on the forum about doing this or Not to do this. Make your own call. It may do nothing for me, don't really have a way yet to measure air temps but it looks cool. Just like the370Z.com sticker...

Thanks for lookin, Rep if you like the progress...

I installed my ART test pipes this morning.. Awesome service, great fit. To avoid gasket blow outs I used the High Temp Copper Gasket material. We used it on race trucks so I think it should work on these. The copper hardens around the gaskets and seals up all imperfections on the flanges..

Sounds like a deeper growl, is quieter at idle and at speed. I do feel more torque when I'm around 4,5 RPM.

Nice set up.

I did find out my car is running really rich.. I wouldn't be surprised to find some fowled plugs. Will try to fix this.. Thanks to the UP Rev I got from FlashBurn i think I can do it.. Will get some dyno time after I finish one more mod..
