Heat Shields: Description

Heat shields are needed to protect both the vehicle and the environment from the high temperatures developed in the vicinity of the catalytic converter. See Fig 1, Fig 2, Fig 3 and Fig 4.

CAUTION: Avoid application of rust prevention compounds or undercoating materials to exhaust system floor pan heat shield on cars if equipped. Light over-spray near the edges is permitted. Application of coating will greatly reduce the efficiency of the heat shields resulting in excessive floor pan temperatures and objectionable fumes.
