Default side pipe exhaust insulation install

anybody have any pics on the install of foil-backed insulation on the frame rails ,it needs to go on before the body gets dropped back on,

and the foam at the back of each frame rail in the rear wheel-well opening

I’m not aware of the foil backed insulation. I’ll be interested in what others post.

Hi Tim from DEI here. Just throwing this out there. We offer our Floor and Tunnel II material. It is a dimpled aluminum facing with a glass fiber poly blend backing with a peel and stick pressure sensitive adhesive backing. It will fold, bend, and hold whatever shape you put it in. It also cuts fairly easy with heavy duty scissors or tin snips. Check it out at http://designengineering.com/floor-t...e-heat-shield/ It can be purchased from Corvette Central or Zip Products. Please let me know if anyone has any questions.

Thanks, Tim
