No that's only for type r down pipe
Thanks, wasn't aware. I've seen a couple or one other DP that was able to reuse the heat shield, will not having it with PRL's affect any components in the engine? IATemperature rises or something similar?

The heat shield help reduce the temp around your engine but nothing major. If u care I would just ceramic paint your DP. It will reduce the heat

I had the lower left go out on me. I cut it off with a hacksaw, filed flat. Remove radiator upper support for more room to work with. Tap the center, drill through with 7/64” then 7/32” black oxide bits. Then do the 11/32” bit. It must be perfectly centered. Use M10x1.25 tap. I was a hair off on the drill and the M10 wouldn’t fit. Put a M8 though there with washers... better than nothing. Very frustrating.
I think you’re gonna have to take off your turbo to get to that one. I’m interested to know how you fixed it since it’s been 3 months from your post. Ty
