Check out the Buschur Racing website... they sell them.

Or you could buy my stock exhaust manifold with the heat shield included. I am sure it could be polished with a Dremel tool. Post some photos when your done

Thanks,

He's talking about the "stock" heatshield , not purchasing an aftermarket one.

Looks good for the price. Has anyone used one for more than a year? If so how does it look?

I polished mine about a year ago. Looks good, has a couple of small heat spots on it now, thinking about spraying it black.

JM Fab is the way to go. I paid $50 for it and it was clean. Now I'm rocking the full-race manifold.

I used the three stage polishing wool pads (can buy them at autozone). Oh and a healthy serving of Mother's Polish of course
