SLP header users QUESTION
HAs anybody here had to constantly change his/her starter out b/c of the slp headers/y pipe? Or would I have to change my stock starter to a mini?

Re: SLP header users QUESTION
not sure if you have ever tried this but you can get a heat shield to wrap your starter with. it's like $20, once I started using that I stopped burning up starters.

Re: SLP header users QUESTION
My car has had SLP headers since before I bought it 4 years ago. I've never had to change the starter while I have owned it.

Re: SLP header users QUESTION
I installed my SLP headers the same time I put together my 350 Vortec engine. I had the headers coated and wrapped a heat shield around the starter. Have not replaced the starter yet but if I do I would probably go wiith a mini starter.
