I just got Summit's 7" x 24" starter shield wrap and I'm just wondering what's gonna happen if it makes direct contact with my header? I don't want the thing to catch fire or melt onto my starter. I'm going to unbolt my pass header today to do some clearancing to the scatter shield so I'll try to wrap the shield as tight as possible but there's still a chance it'll shift and rest on the header.

Thoughts?

The DEI Versashield that I have around my starter has survived so far despite being only 1/2 an inch away from one of my MAC LT header tubes.

Yeah I just finished up and pulled the shield as tight as possible and cut off the extra the length. I have about 1/4" clearance so I think it should be fine.
