Default Polished Stainless steal heat shield or titanium shield.

Well I am sick of looking at my rusty snail. The heat shield that came with the kit didn't fully wrap it up. I got sick of it and deleted it. Now I'm debating getting a titanium heat shield but then stumbled upon a polished stainless heatshield. Just wondering if anyone has a preference of if one is better than the other. They are basically the same price. Any help would be great

Or

The last one is just the style I have a cheaper source to buy from.

Both are gay. Engine bays that catch on fire get more respect.

Ceramic coat it, or the first one. In theory the blankets trap heat in nuking the **** out of the turbo.

Thanks. The Heat shield that came with the Turbonetics kit was eh so,so. I ran it for about 10k miles. But I want something different. Its not necesarly for looks, more funcanilaty. I will probably put a thermo layer on between the spool and the stainless portion.
