IMO...no

I seen where a starter was draging and over heating..while not working melt them

but it melted the positive cable along with burning up the starter

I got one tube of my header a finger width from the round end of the silanoid and have had no issues with heat so far

got my mini from the jy 14$ off a 94 v-6

just route the wire away from heat and your good to go!
