Hello, i put these pipes into my sled today and was looking, the pipes are really close to the Oil and Coolant Jug, Maybe if i Wrap the Pipe thats close to them up in Reflector tape maybe this will help? and also put reflector tape on the belly pan under pipes.

Tell me what you guys think or maybe something that will help stop the heat from the jugs.

Any ideas would be great,

Thanks for looking

There should be some kind of heat shield already on the pipes. Wonder what happened to it? If you can make some kind of aluminum plate to put between the pipes/tanks....

I just use the foil tape and cover the jugs or belly area! They dont look to be touching!

Wrap the pipes where u r worried about with header wrap.Keep the heat in the pipes better scavaging anyway.So it serves 2 purposes.

Yea i do have one off of my other sled i could use, i just thought the plate would hold its own heat since its pretty close.

Thanks for the reply

Yea i heard from people to wrap the hole pipes, looks good and help protector heat and better performance but they also said it changes the sound and different jetting is sometime required. But i think i might just wrap it around the area im worried about and also use a heat shield like the guy said above.
