Hey guys, i am looking for a term here... you know when you have an aftermarket exhaust... or any muffler generally for that matter, and of course it lets out black exhuast crap... does anybody know what the metal plate people fabricate/buy? to protect their body from the discoloration... also can be a minor heat shield... below is a diagram- i am looking for the name b/c i wanna read up on making one- see what the purpose would be aside from cosmetics...

how is that cool?

***Hamsterman*** · 05-06-2004, 06:57 PM

it is cool, cuz it looks badass, imo, but hey it is mo

DrtySthV6SE · 05-06-2004, 07:03 PM

i just call it a heat shield

DrewsCam · 05-06-2004, 09:52 PM

u draw worst then a 3yr old lol

I have seen that on a vw looked pretty cool

Do they make them for camrys? or universal?

***Phi*** · 05-06-2004, 09:58 PM

Nate that drawing cracks me up

Your favorite rice shop should carry it. It's a universal thingy with double sided tape. IMO

Redline · 05-06-2004, 10:04 PM

man, just find a piece of scrap sheet metal (or buy a new piece) and bend it yourself. Voila! Instant custom heat shield for Camry. Hell, I'd buy one if you made it.

...and yes, your drawing is l33t

I thought I saw something like that in the F&F aisle at Pep Boys.

What makes that drawing so awesome is that I think Nate meant it.

Some chrome tape should give you what you want

Sheet metal, torch, and some tape. Ricer style!

***Hamsterman*** · 05-07-2004, 12:39 AM

ha ha ha, thansk guys- yes i meant this drawing 100%- i want a spoiler just like that- and i spent a good 30198490138430298 days photoshopping it

(sacrcasm like a motha)

i know u could make one out of sheet metal, that is not the point, there is a speedsource gen 3 here around campus i saw with one - the orange cam with the 3sgte swap- if you haven't seen it, it is badass... but just getting ideas, i saw the car driving around and was thinking... hey what is that calleed?-

btw if anybody needs pics of their car redone w/ stuff... i can do them like that cam-

***Razo-E*** · 05-07-2004, 12:46 AM

you must mean Alex (not the green cam, this one)...

as always..

works best on TURBO cars...

***Razo-E*** · 05-07-2004, 01:04 AM

hope they all do something...

he's probably the 1st (or one of) to do the 3s-gte swap into a gen.3...

***BLUEMEANIE*** · 05-07-2004, 01:58 AM

ha,ha... I was gonna say, ask Alex aka swegyptian. He's in yo town, Champigne(sp), Ill. He's the Speed-Source rep/vendor for TN w/the gen3 3S-GTE that I'm always talkin about visitin.

New Speed Source Products!

bro, email or PM him or Carl Crawford at Speed-Source, they're both cool as shit!

Those metal things are typically called "bumper finishers" or something to that effect.

And yes, I have seen multiple cars that have burnt/melted bumpers (not just soot). It normally happens with poorly placed aftermarket mufflers/exhausts.
