I was looking at a You Tube video doing a review on the Slingshot. What I did notice is that there is an exhaust heat shield covering the cast iron exhaust manifold. I am missing this heat shield on my Slingshot. I was amazed the dealership that I purchased from did not notice this was missing.

They are not included on the production units but can be purchased either from GM ( http://www.gmoutletparts.com/oe-gm/12633413?search_str=12633413 ) or a nicer looking one is or will soon be available from one or more of the site sponsors.

I bought two (2) and am having them heated coated, like race headers, 1-titanium-dull n 2-Chromex-highly polished silver. Will get them back after January 14, 2015. Will post pics, this is a budget mans exhaust manifold cover. To be noted that late model Malibu, Caddy, Buick had plastic covers on the top of their Ecotec 2.4L Engine. Not sure if it would clear our Slingshot's Hood. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, & Happy New Year ! Tom n Carol

The shipping almost cost as much as the part! However it's pretty heavy for a heat shield. The weight issue I can see why they left it off!

I was thinking of just the same thing. Very nice, if it works.

Fits perfect! Holes line up perfect and it hides the exhaust with a cleaner look...
Got mine at Ace Hardware.

Can I ask where you bought the bolts to attach? I ordered one from the same place and they said it does not come with the bolts. He said they are 6mm x1 x12.3
