any rattle snake would be imprezed and steped out of my way...

now the question is: can I take it off without any big harm to its surrounds or shall I just weld it to something?

I know there was a reason to have it there in the 1st place, but not every reason is so important.

thanks for any advice

As the name states ---> Heatshield.

Mine cracked too. Took it out and got it wrapped up with ThermoWrap to contain the heat so that i don't loose the heat energy to drive the turbine.

Cheers!

If its broke in the same place as mine did, remove the airbox and 'dab' a bit of weld on there. works wonders

Velryba, as said you may be able to weld it up on the car or even off the car (off would be easier). If it is really bad, then i would lag it.

Having said that, i would probably take the opportunity to replace it with an aftermarket up pipe.

Andy (legacyTurbs) go see your good friend David.

yes it would be the perfect excuse to get the AM uppipe, but as thinking of selling the car, there is no point
