Catalytic Converter Heat Shield Cat Armor 1/4 thk x8x12 in (x2) w/anchor - 177097

Heatshield Products Cat Armor(TM) uses our BioCool thermal barrier material to withstand 18-F of continuous heat, which helps reduce radiant heat from catalytic converters up to 7 percent. It installs easily and securely using the included stainless steel locking Thermal-Tie(TM) or HP Power Anchor(TM) depending on which kit you order. This catalytic heat shield is both water and chemical resistant for increased durability and longevity. Heat from the car's catalytic converter can be conducted through the floorboards and increase the interior temperatures to uncomfortable levels. In modern cats with catalytic converters right after the manifold this can lead to serious interior heat or overheat of transmissions. Covering up to 6% of the converter allows you to control which direction you want the heat to escape without over insulating the emissions device and shortening its lifespan.
