OK, I am getting together a parts list for my header install, and the last thing I'm debating is whether or not to get a starter blanket. I ordered a set of Hooker LTs (ceramic coated), and I'm not sure if the starter is going to experience heat soak problems. Has anyone here had problems with their starters after an LT install?

 

No issues here, the LTs are farther away from the starter then the stock Y-pipe was.

 

No problem here either.

 

My MAC y-pipe is about 1/16" away from my CVR starter. Admittadely, my starter is mounted upside down to clear everything...It's 8 way adjustable. So far, I've had no problems with hot starting.

No problem here either. There is about 1 1/2" clearence between the fron of the starter solenoid and the LT´s . Have my Hookers for abot two years now.

 

I had no problems for 5 or so months that my car was running. On C4s, the exhaust is right by the starter, so I don't think its anything to worry about.

 

My starter cracked into two pieces with long tubes, then I got the LT4 starter and no problems since.
