Civic heat shield.

[Gio]

Hey guys i dont know much about cars at the moment as i have only recently got one i enjoy driving. I have a 98 civic and was wondering if anyone can help me with the heat shield.

Is it possible to make a heat shield to stop the hot air from the engine going into the pod or can i just buy one from somewhere, if so where can i buy one from?

Thanks for your help guys.

Chris.

you can always wrap your headers that will keep heat down in the engine bay

^^ Yup by 40%.But if they are stainless steel by wrapping them you risk cracking them.hehe that rhymed :)
