Lower Air Intake Temperatures

Do you have that burning question, how to make cheap horsepower? That’s easy, use the I-M Shield by Heatshield Products. This intake manifold shield significantly reduces the amount of heat transfer from the top of the engine to the intake manifold. This reduces air-intake temperatures and increase horsepower. Lower air-intake manifold temperatures create a denser air/fuel mixture, creating more power. By reducing the heat radiating up from a V series or boxer engine we are lowering intake manifold temperatures creating a denser air/fuel mixture, which creates more power. We are onboard with Gale Banks and his manifold air density theory; lower intake temperatures lead to more horsepower period. Works on both boosted engines and natural aspirated vehicles. The I-M Shield works for both professional engine builders and the garage mechanic. This is how to make horsepower the cheapest way on a gas or diesel engine.

Easy to Install

Heavy-duty adhesive will stick to any clean, semi-smooth surface. Simply de-grease the surface, wipe with pre-paint cleaner or isopropyl alcohol, let it dry, then firmly press the I-M Shield™ onto the underside of the intake manifold. Use the provided edging tape to finish the installation of this intake manifold heat shield. I-M Shield™ is available pre-cut for certain applications and in a universal kit that may be trimmed for a custom fit.

Think of I-M Shield™ as an intercooler for your intake manifold, reducing the temperature of the air/fuel inlet charge for higher density and more power. Nothing beats this intake manifold heat shield for best dollar per horsepower, order your I-M Shield today.

Patent Pending.

Do I need to remove my factory foam on my intake manifold, and how do I do so?

Yes, you do need to remove any factory foam underneath the intake manifold. The I-M Shield must stick to a hard surface to maintain a long-lasting bond. Peel the foam off, clean it good with carburetor spray or other degreaser, wipe with pre-paint cleaners and stick.



How does it create more power if the because the MAF and IAT sensors are before the IM Shield?

Any reduction in intake temperatures creates more power, regardless of sensor location. additionally, the O2 sensor downstream helps the ECU adjust for the cooler denser charge headed into the combustion cycle.



Why do you recommend we wipe the top of the I-M Shield before using the sealing tape on the top of it?

The foil on the Sticky Shield has a coating for manufacturing purposes and during installation grease and dirt can also affect the Weld tapes bonding capability. Wiping with a pre-paint cleaner ensures it is sticking to a clean surface.



How do I make horsepower and how does this work?

There are so many ways to make horsepower, the answer is literally unlimited. The one theory all experts can agree on is lowering your intake air temperatures. People run their fuel through fuel coolers, heck in the old days they used to put ice on the intake manifolds. High performance superchargers and turbo’s all come with inter-coolers. Think of the intake manifold heat shield as that, and inter-cooler for your intake. The I-M Shield is the next technological step in lower intake temperatures and answers that age old question, how do I make cheap horsepower.
