Exhaust Manifold Heat Shield

[tjm]

Hi all

Most aftermarket exhaust manifolds are larger in diameter than stock. So the heat shield doesn't fit on aftermarket manifolds. Does anyone know if there are long term affects on the turbo air intake tube due to the lack of the heat shield?

No problems for the last 50k Miles without that shield.
The tube is massively air cooled from the inside.

No issues. I removed mine to install manifold studs amongst other things.

What brands do you guys have?
I got a used ATS and my heat shield fits....

Thanks all - I have one from BD, bought from Genos Cumminsboy77

Me too, BD two piece.

I ditched mine for a manifold blanket and really like the results.

Does it deliver on the goods AH64ID?

how does it install?

 

[AH64ID]

It was a pretty easy install.

I think it worked well at doing what it claimed, but I did a manifold and turbo swap at the same time.

I do know that underhood temps were substantially reduced.

This is one of the less expensive options that I have seen. Would you purchase from them over others, if doing the upgrade again?

Or is something like this (https://www.ptpturboblankets.com/products/2003-2007-cummins-5-9l-turbo-manifold-blanket) worth the extra $ ?

Levi makes a great product and I’d buy from him again in a heartbeat

I have a Steed Speed and the heat shield fits perfectly.

Couple of questions.

What are the thoughts on use of high heat ceramic coatings on the exhaust manifold and turbo? I had a local outfit ceramic coat my exhaust manifold and turbo when I rebuilt my motor (1800 degree rating). My intent was to make them pretty but use a coating that would hold up to the high heat. The ceramic coating has held up great. However, I doubt the ceramic coating provides any cooling effect in the engine compartment, but I could be wrong.

I note that the TPP blanket does not appear to have an access point for my EGT probe and the PTP blanket, while it seems to have an access point, it appears to be located on the side of the manifold. My probe is currently located on the top of the manifold. I guess I could plug the current location and redrill a new access consistent with the PTP blanket location.

Thoughts?

I have cheap manifold blanket & I just poked a hole in it for the probe.
