Stock heat shields on Edlebrock headers?

[Blue Streak]

Just wondering if these will work or not. Thanks

I got them too work on B&B headers with slight forcing.

I have the edelbrock headers with no heat shields. Just had them jet hot coated by Jet Hot. Cost was $450 and they look great as well as eliminate heat really well.
Been one year now no problems at all.

I also have Edelbrock headers without heat shields. I will probably get the Edelbrock shields although it has not been a problem thus far. The Edelbrock shields look pretty good.

Blue Streak did you get the headers? Here is a pic of the Edlebrock heat shields from their site. Really more a deflector than an enclosed unit like the stock shield, but they do look cool and those of us with OCD like when things match.

Thanks for all of the replies. The Edelbrocks sheilds do look good. How much does the shields cover? I hate to have them coated and you cant even see them

Talk with Chuck Tator. He told me stock shields work fine with Edelbrocks Headers...

Edelbrock headers come coated. Is there a reason to coat them again?

 

[Blue Streak]

Thanks for talking to Chuck Gottaviper. I bought them used and they had header wrap on them.

The coating on the Edelbrocks are poor at best. If they are going to be wrapped, it's a non-issue. Personally, I like the looks of nice set of coated header! No covers for me

Mike, I have coated B&B headers. How does the HVAC Plenum hold up without heat shields? Any melting problems?
