I've been cruising around without a turbo heat shield for about a month now since I got my downpipe. Since I'm a ricer I'm looking to spruce up the engine bay just a tad. I already bought the SPT heat shield to discover it won't fit on my car...so I'm returning it. Now I'm looking at picking up the cobb SS one. I know I could just trim the stock one, but what I want to know is if the cobb one is a decent part. Like, is it gonna rattle and whatnot? Anyone who has used it chime in. I know its a relatively insignificant part but I'd rather only buy one more time. Thanks!
I have one that I got from a member on this site... Its a good looking piece but had to be heavily modified by Topspeed to get it on.. Don't know its because of the Helix DP I have or what, but I had to be trimmed and bent before it would fit...
I'm guessing the trimming doesn't have any affect on how it works then? Thanks for the replies guys. I know I'm being OCD but every little part counts, right?
I was going to trim, but the stock heat shield was such a PITA to get off I said screw it and bought a COBB heatshield from YungDZ off the forums... However, I was not aware of this rattle issue, or fitment problems (I haven't installed mine yet). My old roommate (Jeb here on the forums) has a COBB shield on his wrx...looks good, and best off all, easy to get on / off. We've never noticed any issues coming from it, either.
