eryque Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 I've read other threads about removing or stabilizing the heat shields. I tried the trick with a sheet metal screw on the one shield that was loose and wobbly, but my rattle is still there. I figure that it's just as easy to remove them if they're not doing anything for me. I'm talking about these on the exhaust pipes before the cat: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porcupine73 Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 They can be removed. Just don't park on hay piles. I had several rattles and just today finally got rid of the last one. It took a number of worm drive hose clamps and nuts and bolts. The worm drive hose clamps work pretty well to stop the rattles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoEyeSquareGuy Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 I removed both from the "Y" of the Y-pipe after giving it a shot with worm drive clamps... they consistently needed to be tightened after a week or so, and I got fed up with it. I currently have both the pieces at the Y and those just after the cat clamped, and both still need to be removed. As previously stated, just don't go parking in long, dry grass with a stonking hot motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
