Heat transfer can be a powerful thing, but also make sure you have your venting set of recirculate not atmosphere.

Heat shield is a metal object that is covering your OEM headers to keep the heat away from other compartments in the engine bay or also to keep your engine bay bit cooler.
lol.

Just look at ur headers, do they look like "those ebay headers where u can see em" or "is that a cover on it?"

i dont think a crack can make a big difference of heat coming thru the interior lol

is it only on short or long distance drives?
cause it is normal on long drives, i can feel the heat radiate through the console and the shift lever as well.

theres a heat shield under the car where the shifter rods are for the actual exhaust
check if your shifter rod's rubber boot seal is there
