I know what you mean. You'll see that the AC hoses and such
are fine, and only the 2 items I mentioned are close to the heat.
Secondly,
the engine compartment will actually be cooler while driving, as the heat
given
off of the headers will dissipate and blow out of the engine bay. ALSO,
after shut down the headers will be touchable in about 10-15 minutes...try
that with stock manifolds!! (OUCH!)
