Yea looking under my hood it seems like a few inches you see a cat there. I will post a pic of it later to show everyone that has not seen one like that. My question is it ok to run without the heat sheild?? Have a friend trying to tell me that it will make the motor run hotter but that does not make sense to me.

NO no gains
Both the 2.0 and 1.8's had these, depending on production date.
Produced before 98/08/16 and you had these puppies
Produced after and you get the 1 piece manifold and cat combo

auburnfan- im pretty sure it owuld be okay to run without the heat shield. I heard from before that the heat shield is kinda useless and they keep your engine bay looking cleaner.
If its running one cat, doesnt that mean the exhaust that comes out is dirtier than 2 cat exhaust system?

QUOTE (supry @ Jul 20 2005, 08:06 AM)
does anyone know if there are any gains from these as compared to the cast manifold??
Yeah, this manifold will actually act like a 4-2-1 header that you can get from OBX or something. Design is pretty similar. I bet they will give you a few ponnies smile.gif
It's true that if you have only 1 cat, exhaust gases coming out will be more dirty.
