request for help with the cut out
Best of all, first of all apologize for my English, if I may advise to have the problem that arose in me to the placement of the cut out.
As you can see I have cut out the following exhaust manifolds, the problem is that in that position is up to the plate from the cockpit inside the car belongs to the feet.
The problem is that the sheet has taken a slight curve, which I think is due to heat from the cut out when I open them, and the solution I see is to put a plate between the cut out and the car ... .
What do you think?
Thank you very much of a Spanish citizen and God bless America

Os lo escribo en español no hay ningún problema...
Bien hace poco tiempo le puse a mi corvette c3 de 1979 unos cut out... la posición de los cut out lo podeis ver en la imagen... estan en la salida del colector de escape...
El problema es que justo encima de los cut out, la chapa que hay...se a curvado... yo pienso que es debido al calor que desprenden los cut out...
Yo tengo pensado poner una chapa entre el cut out y el coche... Vosotros que pensais de este problema?

Tres cervezas.
I am out of Spanish now. It looks like the pipe needs to be extended & turned down or possible side exit.

Maybe you got it covered or you could translate.

El metal del piso de tu auto esta ondulado a causa de demasido calor de tu escape. La verdad Chevrolet, durante fabricaccion en la factoria pusieron escudos termicos in varios lugares en al auto. por ejemplo abajo el differential y de hecho abajo los pisos. Recomiendo que usas un metal como alumino que absorba calor mejor que otros metales. Tambiem puedes poner aislameinto abajo el alfombra adentro tu auto si el calor esta horrible adentro tambien.
No mi familia no habla espanol, pero yo vivi en la cuidad de mexico por dos anos. creo es que por eso mi espanol es un poc diferente que el tuyo. pero ha sido un placer en ayudarte en espanol. no es muy commun aqui en el forum!
The op was having issues with the exhaust getting really hot and making his floorboard wavy. He was wondering what kind of thing he should install in order to cut down the heat ie a heatshield

Yes, I got it's getting the floor hot & saw the heatshield. It looks like a flange could be used & extend the pipes which would be better as the shield is going to get hot w/ the exhaust exiting there.
I have run open headers which point down some & there was not a problem, though it wasn't for hours ...
