Re-use heat sheilds with SLP headers?
you know, those heat shields for the cast iron maniflods. Are you suppose to use those with the SLP headers?

I'm not too familier with SLP, but headers do not use the stock heat shields. They don't use any at all. The stock manifolds are a lot different than headers. To keep the heat down you either need header wrap or to get them ceramic/jet-hot coated.
