Cobb Tuning - Turbo Heatshield - Forester SG XT (03-08)

NOTE: Extra bending to clear brake booster needed, Otherwise will bolt straight on. 

The COBB Tuning Stainless Steel Heat Shield is an attractive direct replacement for the unsightly factory piece. This turbo heat shield can shroud a completely stock turbo and exhaust system or can go hand-in-hand with an aftermarket downpipe install, without the necessary trimming that the stock heat shield requires. The COBB SS Heat Shield prevents waste-heat from the turbocharger and exhaust system from radiating into your engine bay, reducing intake and intercooler heat soak and lowering under-hood temperature.

The COBB Tuning SS Heat Shield is constructed of rugged stainless steel and features a laser-etched COBB logo to let everyone know you have the goods under the hood! The heat shield is easy to install, requiring only basic hand tools for installation. Couple this with the COBB Tuning Downpipe with cast-stainless bellmouth for total heat management! Precision cut stainless steel ensures that the heat shield can withstand years of abuse. The COBB logo is laser etched and can be clearly seen no matter how much heat is being deflected. A great addition to show cars and race cars alike!. Please note these may require trimming for some models due to being RHD

Note: Designed for stock turbo applications.

Why?

The most recent edition of the Subaru Turbo Heatshield features extended length edge flanges. Which produce more coverage of the turbine housing for improved heat management as well as a cleaner fit and appearance. Also, the new slotted bolt holes allow for a much easier install as the shield can be dropped into place and situated without needing to squeeze your hand into tiny engine bay gaps to blindly insert tiny bolts at the same time.
