I'm in the process of removing as much weight off of my car as possible. It is a track car now. Can I safely remove the exhaust heat shields underneath the car? Paint or something won't catch on fire due to the heat, will it? I will KEEP the shield above the muffler (inbetween the gas tank). While I have it on the lift, any obvious things that I can also remove that I may be overlooking?

I'm keeping the gas tank heat shield....at least until I do something different with the exhaust. I ended up only taking the passenger side y-pipe heat shield off yesterday. Next time I have it on the lift, I can take the cat heat sheilds off too, but it looked like those and the other one on the drivers side were protecting the brake lines. Are they? And is it from heat? Or from getting snagged?
I ended up having time to yank the cruise control module and cables too yesterday. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/thumbup.gif) |
