    I'm looking to replace the factory headers with after market headers. Just wondering what your experience is with Engine Compartment and engine temp. with after market headers which don't have the heat shields like the stock headers. Do you notice a higher engine temp and engine compartment temp with after market headers ?

    Yes, engine temps will rise unless they are insulated. Not with ceramic coating, but with actual heat blankets. I noticed with test pipes and aftermarket muffler the car ran cooler by 30% as compared to my mates 430 with stock headers and cats but with aftermarket mufflers.

    I guess it's all about the speed of dissipation for the hot exhaust gases.
