I am looking to put in the header heat shield that was missing when I got the car used. I can only find a Gallant shield that came off the same 4G69 engine but it does seem to vary slightly from design.
Would it still be a direct fitment onto my ralliart?

Here are the comparisons.

Gallant:

Ralliart:




Thanks!

 

Yea you can put either on they only differ in style.

I like the way the Galant one follows the arches of the valve cover but I think overall the RA one looks better IMO.

 

sorry i think i should have specified "exhaust manifold"

 

I actually don't think they are the same...the gallant, like the 4g eclipse gs has a catted manifold...the bolts may or may not line up.

 

My bad I assumed you were talking about the plastic cover over the intake manifold. No I don't think the heat shields over the exhaust work the galant and ecliose have a cat built into that portion.

 

Thanks! almost pulled the trigger before asking.

So am I stuck looking for a shield made EXACTLY for the ralliart or are there other cars with the same shield?

My second option would be to make my own out of sheet metal. Dont really care about looks, just want to protect the surrounding components.

or you could just take it off...
mine rusted through about a year before i sold the car so i just took it off insteaod of dealing with the rattling...never had any issues...
