Installed Mark's exhaust and realized there isn't a heat shield from the exhaust to the battery. The stock exhaust had a heat shield there. Do you think one is needed??
Hey OCVmax,
When I put my Mark's Pipes on last fall, I too was concerned that there was no place for a heat shield. But there's enough open area there that prevents the header heat from getting other components "too hot".
Just inspected the area around the headers after a 5.5 hr highway trip with temps in the low 80's ... battery box and all components look just fine. No signs of anything starting to melt, burn, or discolor by getting too hot ! :clapping:
