What's up guys i have a 95 impala ss and i just bought some heat shilf wrapping from summit for my wires ect. I currently have hooker ceramic coated shorty headers on now but i am about to install some Budget headers long tubes from CIA and highflow cats. I know that my starter went out recently, but it did have almost a hundred thousand miles on it. I know that headers even though they are ceramic coated they produce alot o heat do you think that i should purchase a heat shield for my starter? I have a hooker catback exaust also. Thanks.
