We went through tech last week and were told that next year all 10.99 or faster cars will be mandated to have the engine diapers. Do these all have to be custom made for the application? Is there companies that make them ready to go for our rear stear Chryslers? Do they have to be SFI approved? I noticed a company called DRE engine diapers and they make them custom. Im just not sure what the costs would be. How many of you guys are currently running an engine diaper on your ride? 6485899-2011Feb06035.jpg (287 downloads) 10.53 @ 125mph. 1.37 60 foot.

Be interesting to see responses, cuz on our Duster...there's NO way. We'd have to change oil pans and run a true fenderwell header and then maybe one might fit.

I think the only other concern I have is at least 1 header tube the comes close enough to the block that I'ld be worried about it touching the diaper.

There is no doubt that header tube burning the diaper is an issue. Could you wrap that particular tube section with some header wrap?

How far up the block does the diaper need to be? Does it cover the starter it go between the starter and the block?

It takes 3 hours to get the starter OFF now,,,about the same to get it back ON!! I agree. I understand the safety part. On my car the headers physically touch the block and the pan and I don't see a easy way to build a belly pan either as my moroso sb pan hangs 4 or 5 inches below the k frame. What to do.......??? Short of custom building headers there is NO way.
