Dc headers & Cnt highflow cats installed.
Ok guys just recently installed dc headers ceramic-coated & cnt highflow cats & a few other things myself, however I do not have any gas lines or brake lines protected as of yet from the heat of the headers. What is some of the stuff you guys use to protect the crucial areas? Would like to see pictures if you have some.

I never added any protection after my dc header install. From what I read its not exactly necessary if a daily driver or to try to reduce temps. Since the header install the clutch will get squishy even with a SS line on hot days; so i'm gonna put in high temp fluid n hope that fixes the issue.

So far no CEL from either mods right now, steering shaft doesn't rub or even come close to the header. This has been my 2nd best mod for the car since MREV ~ both added noticeable butt dyno power without a doubt. This was my favorite DIY job yet for my car.

Say what... How was the installation on the headers? Was it as horrible as the DIY makes it out to be? Did you just buy all new 02 sensors? As for the heat issues you could probably try wrapping things up with exhaust wrap, or some other type of insulator... Probably would have been best to wrap the headers.

Putting headers on these cars isn't the hardest thing I've done but it is one of the biggest pains in the *** I've ever dealt with. Short tubes and test pipes are going to gain you about the same as long tubes without the effort of long tubes but even then it's not huge gains. ~15-20hp after a good tune. These aren't corvettes.

heads were done as a precaution (google ls7 dropped valve) so that was 3800 alone, but i have brass valve guides, dual valve springs, titanium retainers, ported and polished. it raised the compression some, but to get the most of the ls7 you have to do heads, headers, cam and tune. the cam is coming this december
