Chip,
You're recommending me and you haven't even looked on my website, as there is one listed specifically for 2wd cars .

I am an agent for Creative Carbon, so check out prices etc on my website. Please be advised that there is currently a 28 day lead time .

well ive looked in "heat management" and "turbos" and "engine related" and "bufty stuff" and "exhausts" and "purely cosmetic" and its not in any of those, and there is no search facilty on your crappy badly concieved badly managed website so ive given up looking for it till you post a link to the fucking thing.

decent quality carbon can take more heat than INSIDE the turbo mate, let alone outside of it!

Yes its very nice, i think i was one of the first with the 4x4 sapph as i nagged on Marcus to make one.

If you have a strutbrace and since its a copy of the standard shield it will have the same problem with 3" downpipe being to thick and touching the metal. Atleast on my old Mongoose system, perhaps they have change the downpipe design since -98?

No problem without a strutbrace as you could then move the shield freely ie higher and further back.

Not a dig on the product itself just want to mentiion it to others. In fact its so good looking im having my strutbrace modified to be able to fit the shield.
