im not so sure about that, have gotten anywhere near the exhaust manifold/header after a long drive. its crazy hot. i'd at least keep the ones in place directly under the passenger side. just try tightening up the bolts, that should take care of it.

Leave it on. It's obviously there for a reason. Removing it will cook all the hoses in that area of the engine bay, cook the passenger engine mount, and probably damage the paint on the inner fender. Oh, and the lower intake will heat up quite nicely...

Now that I have a "non factory" header on my car, am in danger of all of the problems that you mention above?
Should I be trying to make some type of heat shield for the header?
