Cobb heatshield - need install help

aspensti05 · 10-19-2005, 06:33 PM

I had a shop take off my stock downpipe a couple months ago. They returned the stock heatshield and bracket but not the hardware. I just got the Cobb STi heatshield and it didn't come with any instructions or hardware so I am thinking I need to reuse some factory parts.

Cobb is closed till the 24th, so I was hoping someone could guide me to the right parts I need to get from my dealer(or maybe the parts I need are still on the car).

Ok so I answered my own question partly. I was able to find a single bolt left on the first half of the downpipe:

It threads up to the bracket perfect:

So anyone got a part # for these bolts? If not I'll take it to Home Depot and see if I can match it up with something else.

Wish I could help. Just got mine today. When you figure out, please post some pics, thanks.

those bolts might be the top 2 bolts that connect the dp to the turbo. not positive but you should see if that coiuld work.

I know what goes in the two big holes on the bracket in the last pic. Those are the bolts for the turbo/downpipe. That 3rd little hole with the threads on the left side of the bracket is used for the stock heatshield, but not this one.

I need 1 or 2 more little bolts like the one that I found(pic #3). One more to attach the heatshield to the bracket and one to attach the heatshield to something else in the engine bay(I may decide that one is optional

)

Since I only need 1-2 bolts I'll probably match the threads and length at Home Depot and go with some stainless bolts if I can find them in metric.

I saw a hole, but I didn't see threads when I looked in my engine as is now. I noticed there is a lower heat shield attached to my stock downpipe that has a threaded hole in this exact location. I am thinking that by not having this lower heatshield I will have nothing to thread the bolt into.

Is this true?

Yes You Would Have To Have That

i hate when shops/dealers do this
my dealer forgot to put the push pins back into the splash shield so it just has the bolts holding it..so dumb.
just head to subaru, they may have them sitting in stock.

Ya really think they will? I guess it couldn't hurt to ask and show them then bolt I need.Plus I'll be in there in the next week or two for my first oil change.
