Anyone local with Borla S-Type exhaust?

I doubt you can transfer OEM heat shield. I would think some shielding is necessary unless you want melted bumper

No, not transfering the oem heat shield. I meant a simlar heat shield to the oem from the Borlas.
There are plenty of aftermarket systems without heat shield including my Hooker. Having said that, I would still prefer some sort of shielding.

I wouldn't touch a hooker without some shielding

Thank you for that softball

Been doing a fair bit of research on this during the last hour or so and from everything I can find it doesn't appear to be an issue. General consensus from several sources say the oem shielding in the areas around the exhaust are more than adequate. Temperature sensors placed in a variety of locations back there showed exactly the same temperatures with both stock and aftermarket exhausts. Not going to worry about it.

Heat shielding is to keep the trunk cooler.
