This Cobb Turbo Heatshield is a must - have for Subaru WRX (2002 - 2007), STI (2004 - 2021), and Forester XT (2004 - 2008) owners. It's designed for stock or stock - fitment turbo applications. A turbocharger heat shield acts as a powerful barrier, protecting engine bay components from the radiant heat of the turbocharger's turbine housing. Key features include: 304 Stainless Steel construction for long - lasting durability; laser - cut and etched with extended length edge flanges for a precise fit. It's compatible with both stock and aftermarket downpipes and turbochargers. This heatshield significantly reduces engine bay heat soak and is easy to install, with an installation guide included. The COBB Tuning Heatshield can work with a stock turbo and exhaust system or an aftermarket downpipe without the need for trimming. It stops waste - heat from the turbo and exhaust from entering the engine bay, lowering intake and intercooler heat soak and under - hood temperature. The laser - etched COBB logo remains visible even under high heat. It's a great addition for both show cars and race cars!
Using your Cobb Turbo Heatshield is easy. First, refer to the included installation guide. It will walk you through the steps to attach the heatshield to your turbocharger and exhaust system. Make sure to double - check that all connections are secure to ensure proper performance. When it comes to maintenance, regularly inspect the heatshield for any signs of damage, such as cracks or loose parts. If you notice any issues, it's best to replace the heatshield to maintain its effectiveness. Also, keep in mind that this heatshield is designed for stock or stock - fitment turbo applications, so using it with non - compatible setups may not yield the same results. Enjoy the benefits of reduced engine bay heat and a cooler under - hood environment!
