I just got my Warspeed catback today. I installed it this afternoon. I know these are not supposed to give much if any gain, but the engine seems to climb in rpms much smoother and the car does seem to accelerate a little quicker. Maybe it's just the placebo effect but either way I like the way it sounds and feels.

One question, are the heat shields above the muffler and the ones in the exhaust well (above the b pipe) necessary. They seem to be preventing the muffler from going up as high as it's supposed to and the b pipe is hitting one of them as well. I'll mess with it some more tomorrow I guess and if I can't get it I'll take it to a shop.

Thanks for any input.

 

Bump.

any know if the exhaust heat shields are necessary? I don't want to catch my car on fire.

 

no...not really....u can remove them with no problems

 

So I'm not going to melt my carpet or interior parts if the shields are removed?

 

that would be a big....NO....NEGATIVE

 

dont do it!!!

 

That's a little vague...reasons? I'm getting rattling between the muffler and shield so removing them seems to be the only solution.

 

Mine started to rust, so I took it off. Not a big deal, and I haven't had any problems.

 

same here its been off for about 4 to 5 months and i havnt had any problems
