    Or you can do this. I like this idea BTW.

    But since most people are adverse to maintaining their car... the heat shield sticks around

      The problem with the heat shield is that its make of tin foil. Look at it wrong and it bends, ever think about salted roads and it rots off. I actually didn't even know the '03+ cars had them until I saw one in a brand new '11, every single '03+ car I've seen has had it missing because it rusted off. Its not that they work loose, its that they disintegrate.

        Bending don't matter, but the rotting off part doesn't help any...mines missing on my blue 03. But im also missing 3 studs/nuts on each manifold that rotted off -project for another day. Which will probably involve visiting a northern garage that deals with rust cause that's outa scope for my work ability.
