    hey guys so the other day I did something really stupid, i backed over a cement parking curb parallel-wise and completely bent one of my exhaust heat shield plates. i took it off, my question is if I just buy some auto shop heat shield wrap will that work,

    Also, what are those 2 lines that run just above the exhaust pipe? do you think they'll be ok if I leave the pipe bare, or should I buy the heat shield? this picture is from the pass. side rear wheel. 2012 C Four. IMG_20201124_105027.jpeg

    If I had to guess, those are the coolant lines for the exhaust heat recirculation system.
