[DML] Re: heat shields

["BRUCE BENSON" <delornut@xxxx>]

My car isn't an early one (vin# 6938) but when I turbocharged it with a
single turbo about 40,000 miles back I installed a glass pack muffler which
is considerably smaller in diameter than the stock Walker muffler. I removed
the heat sheild at that time and have had no ill effects. Admittedly, the
smaller muffler dissipates the heat further from the engine than the stock
muffler.
