Hi all,
Have a look at this picture:
I've got about 3/4" of clearance between the exhaust pipe on the left side to the housing of the throttle body. I'm not too sure of what heat mitigation options I've got here, other than maybe sliding the heat muff down so it's between the TB and the pipe. I figure with the cool air blowing through it, that'll be enough to keep the worst of the heat from the pipe from soaking my throttle body and giving me vapor lock issues.
My only other options are either to move the heat muff back to the tailpipe and clamp a heat shield or two on the pipe in its place, or send the crossover exhaust back to Van's and get a 4-pipe version from Larry Vetterman, since Van's doesn't offer the 4-pipe for the -7.
What do you all think?
