hey guyz i currently have a fwd 4age corolla and was wondering what material would be best to use as a heat shield for my extractors ... coz like the damn thing getz so hot that it started to warp my brand new radiator ...
i was thinking of getting a metal sheet and covering my radiator with it between the radiator core and the extractors but i think it will warp that too ... so whatz my best option ??

Heat shields are typically constructed from aluminium or steel sheet.

yup, thin (<1mm) aluminium pressed sheets are commonly used, and for better heat sheilding, have two layers....
one layer will reduce radiated heat. two layers will much reduce the re-radiation of heat from the first shield...
maybe 5-10mm between sheets? (ie a nut on the bolt)
