OBX header install - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Tom,

You are dead on with all your comments as usual. Reason I had my headers Jet-Coated were heat retention and cosmetic. As for factory heat shield, it still did not keep my wires from getting cooked. During the header install we repaired knock sensor wire, inspected O2 sensor wires, replaced and added flex conduits as needed and zip tied all away from the headers.

Paul,

I checked Megamat installed under the car last night. It was a little soft and gooey around the edge where foam/adhesive is exposed to the heat but still holding tenaciously. I will keep you informed.
