How to: Cut you stock turbo heat shield to fit bell mouth DP

You can also use the cusco or spt heat shield in addition to the cut stock heat shield (they work together) OR any of the heatshields you mentioned can be used by themselves.

I did mine with a dremel w/ a cutting pit and came out seamless!

My DP is already on, do I have to take it off to install the "trimmed stock heat shield?"

I use to use the trimmed OEM heatshield with the SPT heatshield. This helped hide some of the downpipe and provides added heatshielding from the hot downpipe. I had to remove the SPT heatshield because the APS TMIC uses a different TMIC bracket that will not fit the SPT heatshield.

As for removing the downpipe to reinstall the OEM heatshield, it is unnecessary but you will have to remove the top two bolts to install the heatshield bracket.
