Check out what F1point4 did with his ignition coils. Think that might be beneficial?

I considered that but I'm not sure the coils need to have heat reflected off them, but rather dissipated from inside them. I think they are getting internally heat soaked on their own through high-load operation and additionally by the block which is soaked by the combustion chambers and the exhaust underneath on the passenger's side. I still think that built-in heat sinks on the top of the coils themselves would be the most effective solution. The reflect-a-gold certainly looks cool, though.

Nice save there sir.

We found it hard to believe that the reflect-a-gold would make things worse so on it went!

I would have put some on mine if I had any on hand when replacing them. I've considered getting some for my cold air intake.

My new Tsudo catback arrived. Snapped some pics before putting it into my trunk.

EDIT: Returned due to fitment issues. Now running Dezod Motorsports Catback.

I didnt bother trying to weigh it before putting it away but the muffler section isn't very heavy, I'd guess it's just under 20 lbs.
Tsudo advertises the whole catback to be lighter than stock, which is 38.45 lbs.

Awesome. I look forward to hearing how it sounds.
