Hi, Just getting to the stage that heatsheild will be needed in the engine bay,trans tunnel and under the floor were the cats will be. Wondering what other people have used and their experience with the product they used.I've looked at the ACL heat sheild.Any help with this would be appreciated.

Paul

Used a combination of aluminium faced insulation in the engine compartment and also double layer aluminium heatshield from my donor car.

Over my cats cut a sheet of aluminium to fit between the chassis RHS and put in a layer of glass wool with the steel floorplate over to form a sandwich. Seems to work well.

Also have my exhaust ceramic coated which I am told reduces heat from it.

Regards
martin
