Seems that people think removal of the heat shield on the top of the OE manifold causes the hood paint to have problems. I removed mine years ago when I removed my first set of broken studs and never put it back (bolts snapped, didn't feel like fixing properly). Anyway, my hood paint has definitely bubbled / flaked off in that area in a few spots.
Why is this any different... or better yet, why would a top mount not put more heat to the hood than stock.
