Swap that pipe and the factory shield either won't clear or has to be butchered to fit. The Overtake EJ Turbo Heatshield, engineered for the WRX, STI, Forester XT, Outback XT, and Legacy GT, solves this with 304 stainless steel construction, CNC-formed to fit OEM and most aftermarket downpipes without cutting, drilling, or compromising coverage. Grade 10.9 hardware is included so you're not reusing stressed fasteners. The factory should have built it this way.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat You'll Feel:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMore consistent power run to run, with less heat soak creeping in from the turbo\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eConfidence knowing your TMIC isn't sitting next to an unshielded exhaust housing\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA cleaner, finished look in the engine bay that holds up over time\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e304 stainless steel construction, brushed finish\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCNC-formed for precise fitment with OEM and most aftermarket downpipes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGrade 10.9 hardware included\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eReuses OEM brackets\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eThe Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe EJ-series turbo runs hot, and in stock form the heat shield is shaped around the OEM downpipe. Once you go aftermarket, that clearance disappears and most people ditch the shield entirely, leaving the turbo's exhaust housing radiating heat directly toward the intercooler. On a hot day or during hard use, that radiant heat raises charge air temperatures and costs you power when you want it most. The Overtake Turbo Heatshield is CNC-formed from 304 stainless, shaped to wrap the turbo housing properly while clearing the wider profiles on popular aftermarket downpipes. The brushed finish resists corrosion and holds up in the under hood environment without peeling or flaking. Grade 10.9 hardware is in the box so you're installing with proper fasteners from the start. Straightforward install, no modifications to the car, and you get your heat protection back.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1sxHwVx3OJw?si=9hOjLoB-_FXEig6p\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdditionally:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour heat shield absorbs radiant heat from the turbo and re-radiates it right back at your intercooler — unless you do something about it. The optional Overtake reflective gold foil applies to the inside face of the Overtake turbo heat shield, adding a reflective barrier that bounces radiant heat back toward the turbo instead of letting it pass through. Peel, position, press. Done in minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNote that this add-on gold foil part is ONLY intended for the Overtake turbo heat shield.
