Heat shield gap on 2 into 1 Big radius
See picture, no matter how tight I tighten the heat shield clamps, it splits open when it gets hot. Anyone?

wow, i think you're worse than me in worrying about little tiny details. I think you should probably let it go. I think it looks fine.

You have to see it in person, the gaps look ugly.

I don't worry at all, heat expansion is an issue. I am just curious if you people notice that.

Mine open up a little also. I don't think it looks bad but at some point I'll try and adjust them when they are still warm.
