Also depends on if your car is driven long distance not talking one side of a city to the other but big miles 4, 5 hundred klicks at a time just my 2c worth be it right or wrong Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/39143-exhaust-heat-shields/#findComment-586799 Share on other sites More sharing options...

truongski Member 129 Member For: 18y 20d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 21/10/07 01:44 AM Share Posted 21/10/07 01:44 AM just to clarify, is this the exhaust shield around exhaust or the exhaust shield at the back of the turbo?
