Default New IM heatshield gaskets

http://www.daytonimports.com/heat.htm

Just saw this on Honda-Queer...it's much cheaper than the Hondata gaskets but looks the same.

I wish I hadnt bought one of the Hondata one's a month or so ago.

What do you guys think?

Hmmm, very interesting. How much do the H-data ones go for anyway Chris?

Groundzero here in portland has been cutting their own out of some special material similar to hondata's but apparently its a little harder material, and they have been dyno testing them with supposed good results.

Well I would think that it would work. All you have to do is keep the metal from touching each other. Keeps the heat from transfering to the intake and preheating the intake. Would you think that bmc could get something like that and cut out real fast. It would have be real heat resistent and not melt.

I think I paid $59 shipped from Lightning Motorsports for mine. Boosted-Hybrid datalogged significantly lower IATs when using the Hondata shield last year...like 20 degrees or maybe more.

If someone gets this...please let us know the quality.

I was under the impression that if you only used something from the intake manifold to the head, you are still getting alot of heat from the throttle body to the IM. There really needs to be a gasket for both to get most benefit. Not a bad price for one though.

Does anyone know what material they use to make these? Any of our friends with CNC skills/equipment could rip these off pretty easily.
