Thanks I ordered the Dtec heatshield w/ the ceramic coating and 'cause Chad and Alex are such nice guys, they coated my CTA intake pipe, too. Thanks guys! First impressions - white ceramic coating looks very nice and high quality. The white had to go, so it now has a couple coats of flat black paint. - fit and finish are very nice. The shield slips snuggly in. I had to bend it a smidge, but all is well. - I've been driving around at 2:00PM for the past two days and there's no sign of heat soak. I can't really log data, however. I will be taking a long trip this week and I'll give it the ol' hand-thermometer test. I'm hoping the CTA pipe will stay as cool as the filter. I'll snap some pics as soon as I wash my engine (it's filty). Thanks again to Chad and Alex. They do nice work that I am willing to pay for.

Thanks Agreed. I think we've covered that issue enough already. I think a really good test would be to get a dual input thermometer and test the temperatures inside and outside the heatshield. Do some runs on the freeway and in stop-n-go traffic and log the results. I'd really like to know how effective the heatshield is. I have the SHO Shop heatshield on my Sport, and on warmer days I can feel a little heatsoak. Beer is my Gatorade. Hooray Beer. '98 "Sport" Pacific Green '98 E0 SVT Silver Frost Pictures

I can't remember the results, but they were lower though. Mike EDIT: Here ya go Last edited by 69Boss302; 06/16/03 04:52 AM. Former - 98 CSVT E0 T-Red 4/4/97 #173 of 6535 Dear Santa

I sent payment two months ago and have recieved no product and no response from the e-mails I have sent to them. Just wanted to give everyone a heads-up who might be considering doing business with these people.

However, if they haven't even responded to you that is unacceptable. Please let us know if the situation changes. Beer is my Gatorade. Hooray Beer.

I'd start calling and disputing the charge with your CC company or Paypal. You have the legal right; time to use it, I'd say. Beer is my Gatorade. Hooray Beer.
