My engine compartment is considerably hotter now (most of the mods below are new). I suspect the LT headers have a lot to do with that. But maybe the tune (or lack thereof) of the HCI is doing it too.
In any case, it's pretty darn hot in there. And the AC lines run right by the headers.
I put heat shielding on the larger, black pipe. And I bent it up a bit to get 3/4 inch clearance from the header. Would it help to shield the small, silver pipes too?
Is this a common issue with LT headers?
BTW, the stock temp gauge is still reading "o" to "r" on the "normal"
