I was planning on fabbing up my own heat shield for my exhaust manifold since it would be cheap and beneficial. What would be the best metal to use for this in terms of keeping the heat in and doing its job the best? Or is there something reasonable thats even better than metal?
Also, I forget who said this but is there any truth to the statement of a properly shielded manifold noticably improving spoolup time and exhaust flow? I was curious about this but I am mostly just doing this because my car did not come to me with one on there and everyone seems to feel they are a must so why not join the crowd.
