Knucklehead Saloon Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 (edited) Exorcizamus te, omnis immundus spiritus. Be gone back to the depths of hell, foul blight of rattle demon. I did this under the car. For anyone wanting to get rid of the cat heat shield: I used a 4" angle grinder to cut the heads off the seized bolts, punched out the remains (pin punch). Bottom piece fell away and the top piece finally came out without dropping the exhaust... well after alot of swearing, heaving and "massaging" the top shell with a long flatblade screwdriver. The key was busting off the spotwelded brackets on the top piece and bending what was left a little. Came out into the wheel arch.

dfoyl Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Why remove it ? If it rattles either the exhaust has been modified, or the cat is shot and needs to be replaced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knucklehead Saloon Posted September 27, 2017 Author Share Posted September 27, 2017 Cos the heatsheild was doing the rattling not the cat my friend. The exhaust system is totally stock and looks to be the original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knucklehead Saloon Posted September 29, 2017 Author Share Posted September 29, 2017 I was thinking that exhaust wrap stuff could be the go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
