Stinger Help?

[SouthTXSnake]

I noticed today that my stingers are too close to my gas tank shield and its starting to leave a bubble line. I still have about an inch and half clearance between the exhaust pipe and the shield. I thought it would be ok when I installed them. Someone here had the same problem and fixed it with some heat shields. Does anyone have that part number? I found these on thermotecs website, and just wondering if these would work?

Ya I had the Magnaflow on my Silver coupe 10th and it melted the gas tank shield..... That looks like a good idea (heat wrap)

Thanks Bonedome!! Exactly what I was looking for.

When I installed mine I pushed the tips as far in as they would go and it looked like I had plenty of clearance. I saw everything up on a lift this weekend when I had my subframe connectors installed and I didn't notice any bubbling...but now I will go out and double-check!

No bubbling here either... just lucky I guess. The pipes touch each other though, doesn't appear to have caused any ill effects.

We carry a insulation foil over high heat insulation.There used on Vettes for thermal and noise insulation from the tranny.
You could buy a shield and cut it to fit,Good Luck,Dave Smilovic

Just ordered the thermo-tec clamp on heat shields (1-footers). Hopefully this will do the trick. I'm still going to get the car up on rhinos this weekend and try to push them back a little further. I'm sure with a little more clearance they will be fine. The heat shields are just for piece of mind. Thanks for all the info everyone.

I hopped on the creeper and checked mine at lunch. There is plenty of room between the gas tank shield and the exhaust piping. No bubbling or other signs of excessive heat. Just unclamp everything and try pushing the tips in as far as they will go and I bet you'll be fine :beer:

Just be patient and adjust them it took me and my buddy a while to get them perfect but they are quite adjustable.
