FP Manifold heat shield

[KGB Pilot125]

Anyone try to make a stock heat shield with the FP manifold? I think it might work with a riser bracket and some creativity. I have 2 of them here at home and might try to work on it this weekend. If anyone has tried it do you have pictures or ideas?

JM Fabrications made a heat shield for the FP manifold. Unfortunately they don't make them anymore, but you can find some floating around For Sale threads.

had one and sold it. It didnt have a decent mount design and it would always come loose and rattle. Also I am not a big fan of BLING. I also love the idea of a little stealth.

I'm having mild steel brackets made for my FP manifold. I plan to tap the rear bracket with 1/4-20 thread, put 6" studs or bolts on it from the back and then put acorn nuts in the front.

As for not having bling, have it ceramic coated in black.

I will be making one as soon as i get my hands on one. Currently awaiting for one for mock up.

Anybody have pictures of their finished product?

did someone find a way to mount a factory heat shield onto this manifold? a riser bracket should work...

Inconel wrap top to bottom...$650 just for the manifold!!!

That's pretty slick there. I'd love to have that. If I end up keeping the car I think I'll invest in that. Takes away from the looks of the runners though.

Imports

Turbo

TURBOGALLERY

The material chosen (Inconel foil) is a super alloy that wont deteriorate when placed very close to stuff that gets way too hot.

To my eyes, the pros are:
1. light weight compared to welded stainless shields.
2. Very complete: very few spots left bare.
3. No reason why it shouldn't last forever.
4. Barely takes up more space than header wrap.

Cons:
1. BIG fraggin' bucks!
2. many times it will cover bolts you might need to get just to assemble your new parts.

I contacted that company and the quote for the exhaust manifold was $395. They ignored my question on whether or not they had kept a "mold" of some sort after producing yours. Any idea why yours was so much more expensive?

 

[aaronmatusz]

I had it done through a shop here in Wisconsin.
Also I had no idea who was really doing it 'till I got the part back and read the label on it.

I'll know better for next time.

$650 for that!? You could have done it cheaper yourself. I'd rather send it off to get Swaintech coated which looks better and cheaper.

The turbo, however, looks pretty nice. How well does it block the heat away and can you hold your hand on the shield after doing hard pulls?

 

[aaronmatusz]

I'll let you know in a week or two.
I've been waiting to install it on my new stroker due to be delivered before this weekend.

I wonder if it'd be possible to modify an evo heat shield (since they have longer runners) or even the oem evo heat shield to fit. I think I remember seeing someone modify the oem evo heat shield on this forum before. The one below is only $25 on ebay.
