Side Exhaust Insulation
I have previously posted on Side Exhaust Insulations. I was hoping to get more detailed information and hopefully pics before I lower the body on Friday.
I bought 2 different insulations:
Item A= large rectangular (38.75" x 8.5") foil/fiberglass
Item B = small die-a small cut black foam.
For Item A, the picture in Paragon looks like a hard foam piece like the really fat black foam body insulators. Even the AIM page J418 is the same and looks nothing like Item A
Where, how and WHEN do these get installed.
Last - the Item A that I described looks like seriously antiquated technology. Upon finding out how it is installed - I may purchase another better insulation. I have to order asap - so appreciate your fast input

hmmm - well is your picture of hooker headers? What area should I be looking at in the picture? The AIM sketch is of OEM side covers, but I do not see the insulation material. Unless you are referring to item 6, the insulator. Thanks for the help - I hope I am not overlooking something

First - I appreciate your attempts to help. I did use teh word insultOR by accident - apologize.
I am actually surprised no one else has tuned in... See above in bold. There is a large rectangular (38.75" x 8.5") foil/fiberglass that I am talking about . If you look at teh AIM (your page does not show it) - that will give you a hint. I will try to post ths weekend for posterity, as unfortuantely I MUST order something today/tomorrow and overnite it for body lwoering on weekend.
SOMEONE PLEASE CHIME IN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Fred - I agree on the area to install Item A - but the AIM shows it 'folded' and it even looks like 'foam' (like the pipe insulation for outdoors.??) With the questions I have, I figured I would just lower the body and then assess - will keep you aprised. Will follow your advise on Item B and learn.

I have a 69 factory sidepipe car, with "N14" written on the rear bulkhead behind the passenger seat with the job #, and it has a fiberglass insulation with a heavy foil backing sloppily stuffed in the location described by Hammerhead Fred above. I assume that it was put in by the factory after the body was set down on the frame. It is not a foam type insulation or anything folded. The foil side appears to be towards the outside of the car with the fiberglass against the frame rail. About an inch or 2 of it hangs out from under the body side rail when the insulators are off.

Gray.... thanks again for the input. Since I think there is better technology available for this, I will order some on Monday - I will advise what I order and offer pics when I can.
