I just finished doing the heatshield on the 1993, took a look under the 1989, and there is almost nothing left of it's heatshield. The exhaust on that is 1 piece custom, all welded front to back + the cat is one of those generic aftermarket ones with the integrated heat shield. I suppose the heatshield also covers some pipe etc, but how critical is that? are the integrated heatshields on aftermarket cats much good?
Am I playing with fire here (literally)? should I buy + install a saab heatshield, or am I ok? the 1989 is the winter beater, so I'm trying to keep costs down on it (nevermind that the heatshield is a crapload of work to replace).
thanks!
