Product Info
This guard protects the exposed factory coolant lines under your BYD Shark 6. It's made from 304 stainless steel for the Shark 6 from 2024 onwards, and puts a solid barrier between the lines and whatever the road or track throws at them. That covers rocks, sticks and ruts on gravel roads, off-road tracks, farm properties and worksites.
On the Shark 6 the factory coolant lines sit low and exposed under the vehicle, with very little protecting them. A stick flicked up by a front tyre, a rock on a washed-out track or the edge of a deep rut can all hit them. A split or crushed coolant line means losing coolant, and usually stopping on the spot, often a long way from a workshop. A dedicated guard costs little compared with a recovery, repairs and a ruined trip.
The guard is CNC laser cut and folded from 304 stainless steel, which resists corrosion on its own. It doesn't need a paint or powdercoat layer to stay intact. A coated steel guard can chip and start to rust once it has been dragged over a few rocks, but scratches on stainless steel from normal off-road use won't let corrosion in. That makes it a good fit for vehicles that regularly see mud, water crossings, beach driving and dusty tracks.
This guard complements the Superior Engineering 304 Stainless Steel Engine/Diff/Transfer Guard (UGRD-A-SHK01). That kit protects the engine, differential and transfer case. Adding the Coolant Line Guard extends the protection to the factory coolant lines as well, so more of the vulnerable parts under your Shark 6 are covered.
If you take your Shark 6 onto gravel, tracks or worksites, this guard gives you a simple way to cover one of the most exposed parts underneath. That helps you avoid a trip-ending coolant leak, whether you run it with the Engine/Diff/Transfer Guard or on its own.
Key Benefits
Important Notes
The Engine/Diff/Transfer Guard is sold separately.
Superior Engineering offer custom built suspension solutions, with unique adjustability and performance.
These kits are assembled to order to suit your requirements, with an average lead time that can vary between 1-3 weeks.
If you need a specific eta, please contact us before ordering and we will be sure to assist you.
Consolidated freight allows PPD Performance to combine multiple orders onto a single pallet and transfer them together, reducing freight costs by sharing them across orders.
This option adds an additional 1–3 week delay on top of the standard 1–3 week supplier lead time.
If you require your item sooner, please contact us before or after ordering to discuss specific lead times or faster freight options.
PPD Performance exhausts comprise of mandrel bent, stainless pipe work, delivering uncompromising flow, performance, and sound. Mandrel bending involves placing a mandrel inside the piping, before it is bent to shape. In comparison; cheaper press bending from other manufacturers squashes the tube as it is bent, reducing flow.
Tired of your mild steel exhaust systems rusting out after a year or less? Time to shop for a stainless steel system? There’s still some things you need to be aware of. Our competitors typically advertise their exhaust products as stainless steel. Most don't stipulate the differences between ferretic 409 grade stainless steel and austenitic 304 stainless steel.
Significant differences exist between the metals that make one better for performance exhaust applications than the other. Let us explain
The corrosion resistance of your 4x4 exhaust depends on the content of chromium and nickel found in the alloy. 409 grade stainless steel is used by many manufactures due to its medium strength, formability and very low cost. Typically, 409 grade stainless steel has a chromium content of between 10.50% - 11.75% and a nickel content of less 0.50%.
Why do we use 304 grade stainless steel piping for 4x4 performance exhausts? Because it is more resistant to rusting than ferretic based stainless steels such as 409. However, because of its low ferrous content, 304 can develop a golden colour when exposed to high heat over time. In fact, the ferrous metal content is so low that magnets won’t stick to it, making the identification of 409 and 304 grade stainless steel very easy.
Put simply, 304 grade stainless is the best value material used in the 4x4 exhaust game when strength, corrosion resistance and performance are at the top of your list of priorities.
Type 304 steel is engineered with chromium and nickel content and proves to be resistant to oxidation, corrosion, and durability.
Together with a polished finish - it is a great choice for your 4x4 offering excellent corrosion resistance from exhaust emissions, moisture and beach exposure.
All PPD Performance exhausts are designed to follow the same orientation and layout as the factory exhaust, making for easy bolt on installations. Our systems utilise the standard hanger locations, which means you don't have to use anything other than the factory rubbers.
