Resonators heat shield after resonators delete

[fpa1974]

For the folks that did the resonator delete, how did you attach the heat shields back to the straight pipes or x pipe (whichever way you went with)?

When I added Borla's exhaust I used clamps for the long shields and welded the two small shields in place at the rear.

Nope! They got deleted as well!

Thanks! What type of clamps did you end up using?

Also, I believe the stock pipe is 2.75"?

I used large hose clamps to reinstall the shield on the shifteck x-pipe

Worm gear ones? Are those tough enough to last on an exhaust pipe?

I just left them them off after putting the Ford Performance exhaust on....

Does the R comes with a heat shield?

The real question that I have is if I need to use clamps specialized for exhaust or any 304 SS ones (t bolt for example) will do.

Borla supplied clamps for the main shield. Exhaust tubing OD is indeed ~2.75".

Yes.

Any clamp of the right diameter will work. Stainless are obviously preferred.

Yup, they work just fine. It just holds it in place there's no pressure on them.

I am just curious. What type of clamps did Borla supply?

Thanks!

I am more worried about those bolts loosening up due to vibrations and heat cycling.

I don't see any heat shields on this picture of the R exhaust sans resonators? When I installed the Corsa X-Pipe, the heat shields were not installed- my understanding is that resonators retain heat unlike pipes so heat shields are not required?

I have been watching many videos on YouTube and gt350 with resonator delete still sounds different than the R. It seems like the R sounds more deeper and louder.
