starter heat shield
What are you guys using? After a couple years of having longtubes in south florida my starter went. The shop that does my maintenance said I should throw one of these on there, what are you guys using? Found this one

I had the same issue on my 2012 C6 Z06 with American Racing un-coated long tube headers. The starter heat shield made by Lingenfelter, while expensive, has served me well. https://www.lingenfelter.com/product/L800010000.html
Edit: I looked at that amazon link, and all I will say is my previous starter had a heat wrap/tape on it and it died. I think those tend to trap heat rather than act as a shield.
