Should I be seriously concerned since I cannot put the heat shield back on the car? Is there any truth to the possibility of melting something? They are not ceramic coated. There is a piece of piping nearby, within a couple of inches, but it has a metal jacket around it.

Should I be concerned?

 

use exhaust heat wrap around the shifter cables

 

i havent had any problems, and i didnt add anything to compensate for the heat.

 

and the car has been on two long road trips with the header on, lenty of time to heat up and melt something, but we are doing good.

 

Which ones are the clutch lines? Are you referring to the two metal lines that run in the back over the header? Can anyone provide a pick or link to which lines they're referring to? I'm getting headers and I just want to make sure that I'm protecting the right lines.

 

we have a hydraulic clutch line system and its out of the way of the exhaust
