 The last bunch of JH's that were equipped with cat. converters had a heat shield installed similar to the GT's, these cars also had an air pump and the heads modified to take the plumbing. I still have the shield tucked away someplace.

When I installed the Delta unit I had to rebend the header outlet up towards the undercarriage so as to get a bit more road clearance, by doing that the shield no longer fit, as for the pipe over the axle that was a PITA for a while until I fabed a different holding bracket that made the system stiffer and got less travel in it, as for heat from the system mines not much of an issue, I just keep moving, I would suggest if you consider the unit to noisy add another small muffler to it.

And PS. not toss it out I'm sure someone out there would be more than happy to take it off your hands fi you dont want to modifie it.

Good luck.  Brett
