Fitted a magnex centre with resonator but the original heat sheilds wont cover the resonator. What has everyone else done?

Do I fit as much of the sheilds as possible
Do I cover the pipe in some sort of heat wrap
Do I not bother, everything will be o.k.

Hi David,

Had mine on for 4 months now.......No heat shield and no wrap. I can report mine in absolutley fine.....

You may also want to ask Lawerence (known as LPitt on here) as he had his fitted round about the same time.

The thing that worries me the most is the rubber propshaft joint above the resonator. I bet things get hot under there without the shields

David,

Mine has been on the car for over a year like that.

I've had no problems, and 'Awesome' didn't mention anything about it!

Hope this helps

Yeah, but Andy, the way you drive, the exhaust bearly gets warm

Thanks for your comments guys, I'll take that as a "Dont bother, everything will be o.k." then

Dave,

You're probably right!

The hot bit, as in really hot bit, is where the Cat was, hence the heat shield
The straight through new bits don't really get that hot, relatively speaking
Had mine on for a while
No probs No worries

What power increase do you get from :

Magnex downpipe only;
Magnex downpipe with centre pipe too.

Assume that this will all work with a SS back box ?
