Are you saying it won't fit with your current exhaust?
it fit fine with the current exhaust. I just have the tranny off and am dropping some weight for the track.

That thing can't weigh more than 5 lbs., but I guess every lb. counts when you are talking about that track. Since it seems like you are making a track S2k and are not to worried if the passenger floor gets hot I say leave it off. I am interested to see how much weight you can shave, I see the AC unit sitting under it so it sounds like you are shooting for as light as possible.

Well, I do know of a guy in an S2K who melted his carpet on a long trip down to the Dragon. I don't recall if it was an exhaust leak or a missing heat shield, though. I seem to recall he was missing the heat shield. Just sayin'
holy crap i remember that guy. Burned straight through the floor board and carpet but kept running his car WOT on the dragon. He had an aftermarket exhaust though if i remember correctly
