Im dealing with the same thing on my 18 ZL1. Longtube headers run right past the starter and think they roasted the starter solenoid. So now Im going to buy a new OE starter, starter heat blanket and heat wrap the part of the headers that run by the starter to make 100% sure this time!!!

Good info. I have a 2018 Camaro 2SS and plan on tracking it this summer. Hopefully my starter doesn't go bad too. We both live in the same area, would love to hear your car and see how the headers sound with the npp. Keep up the content!

If it started fine when cold then it was probably heat soak from the headers. DEI makes a starter heat shield wrap for that. Whether you have the space to put it on is another question. May have to take it out just to wrap it.

Hey guys just wondering if anyone has seen or heard of an easier way to complete this task😅 this is the 2nd time my starter has went out so I am going to replace it with a lifetime warranty starter and also heat wrap it so that it will not die again hopefully. However like it’s been said this is a huge pain and it’s like playing Tetris/bloody knuckles with my car to accomplish all of this. Just want to know if there any possible easier ways to do this before I dive into it again like maybe dropping the subframe or something.

When you loosened your headers did you pull the entire exhaust off behind that? I have a feeling my starter is about to go so going to replace it sooner rather than later.

Good video. I was wondering if you could tell me exactly what the issue was before replacing it? I bought my SS brand new in 2016 and it’s been an ongoing INTERMITTENT issue from day one and Chevy could NEVER replicate the problem nor fix it. My SS will crank extremely slow at times and IF it starts when doing that, the electronics freak out and the engine runs very choppy and like it’s not supposed to be running at all. Warranties are up and the issue is even worse now. They claim my starter TESTS good and the alternator as well. Battery was already replaced. Any advice?

Found the problem for that so the issue you are having is hots starting the vehicle, with camaros you will need to add another ground wire from the chassis to the engine block….when the engine gets hot the car sends out 9v instead of 12

Love the wrap man, Frankenstein camaro!!🤘 I've got a license plate frame with the same pattern on my 16' SS....but man I gotta question, I've got headers on my car as well...and just purchased a GM starter heat shield. Is that the same shield u have?? And is it fairly easy to bolt the sheild on? And was ur shield still not enough protection to keep it from heat soaking?? Thanks in advance man!

Thanks bro I appreciate it! Mine heat soaked with the starter heat shield as well, but from what I have read, if you heavily track your car (I do) it’ll wear your starter out much faster from the higher heat which is what happened in my case. If you only participate in spirited driving I would think just the heat shield should be ok
