Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications General Mods Ractive Heat Shield Filter... Wow

I just removed my universal conical filter and installed a Ractive heat shield filter. WOW. The car pulls much better especially down low, and it sounds meaner (although only I would notice that ). Definetly a worthwhile investment for Duratec guys who don't have homemade heat shields. Cost me $27.

Link?

You have a link for it?

what about zetec guys?

A heat shield and you can tell a diffrence....WOW gimmy gimmy

Don't have a link, I ordered it through my shop, but I'm sure a search for Ractive products would get you to some pics and ordering info. They claim dyno proof of more low-end torque over a typical conical, and I believe it.

Not sure about the Zetecs placement, but in the Duratec bay the opening on the heatshield mounts right up near the fender vent. Now I'm seriously thinking about cutting a vent into the fender... Hmmmm.... I'll post pics later (along with my new stripes and painted interior pieces)!

is it just the heat sheild filter or did u hook up the cold air tube and where did u run it??? i had one on my last car and i was wondering why so many guys here didnt use it.

Check my sig pics, I just added a pic of it.

didnt it come with the cold air pick-up tubing it makes a huge dif. when u hook that up.I like the ractive that arent clear the heat sheild is thicker and cooler, but still nice. I didnt know if ractive made an adapter that fit our cars.im gonna go get one later this week.
