New Heat Shields

[Mark Red GTS Cooper]

All, I wanted to show off my new heat shields from Advanced Thermal Products (ATP). I bought them through Dan Cragin at DC performance.

They were extremely simple to install compared to the stock shields (the stock one had to be bent, hammered and cut for my TNT headers.

I went with aftermarket shields due to the fact I was melting things inside the engine compartment Heater motor, Air intake plenum) see pictures of my melted stuff.

I have noticed a considerable change in my under hood temps, and my new heater motor and plenum are fine. Let me know if you have any questions.

Looks great. How much for them?

 

[Mark Red GTS Cooper]

Thanks,

They were not cheap (about 250 per side) and what is cheap for the viper, but well worth the money for the ease of installation, and heat control.

 

[JUCD VPR]

WOWZA 250 each side . I'm surely NOT rich LOL but they sure do look pretty> Maybe one day LOL

one of our members had his installed by Dan around 12 months ago, believe they were holding up pretty well

You've got some serious heat there Mark

What's the name of that material he uses?

 

[Mark Red GTS Cooper]

Hi Neil, yepper! Before the AEM I was glowing the headers, now, even if they do not glow, I can be confident that I will not melt anything.

Holy shyte and I thought the little half inch by three inch hole in the corner of my fresh air box was bad! That is a full-on meltdown. Was that during a track event or something?

 

[Mark Red GTS Cooper]

No, no track event, just not able to tune the richness out on the even bank (2 to 10)

 

[Jerry Colpitts]

WOW!! Thats hot. Nice Sheilds.

For those who are interested in the product here is the manufacturer's web site: Click here for ATP

However there is a better solution to prevent such domage: For 60$ you can install a header temperature sensor. Anyhow such a temperature is abnormal and may even domage the engine. Better to know when the temperature gets above normal.

Mark: The new material looks great installed, and the large version of your avatar is killer. Thanks for the images and the anti-heat info.

 

[Mark Red GTS Cooper]

Todd, thanks for the feedback, It is finally running the way I would hope it would.

Mark, could ya make yer name a little longer so It would be totally impossible to read the forum headers?

 

[Mark Red GTS Cooper]

Wow,, that is the shortend version of my name After almost 5 years with the same name, a new name is coming...

 

[Bonkers]

They were not cheap

Well, compared to the price of a new
heater box and various other viper-only,
no longer made, parts I think $500 is a
bargin.

 

[Dv8tor]

Those look really nice.

 

[STUGOTS]

I bought a set from Dan about 6 months ago, Im having them installed by Chuck Tator on monday along with my B&B (jethot coated) headers.

Yeah they were $512 with shipping, I'll see if they are worth it next week sometime.

 

[Mark Red GTS Cooper]

Stugots,

they really do help!

Dv8tor,
Thanks

Mark

If anyone buys these, let me know, I walk you through the install.

What's the name of that material he uses?

ATP stands for Advanced Thermal Products. They make their own material and sell it to everyone from the Navy to commercial power stations. They also offer a kit to address hot sills in the Gen I/II and Gen III. DC Performance helped them develop thier products for the Viper market (hence the easy installation and excellent fit). Dan had them on Display at the Nashville VOI.
