Tungsten Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Recently the bottom of the heat shield on the right exhaust manifold rusted off and disappeared and now I'm getting this annoying rattle every time I'm at a stop sign in D. If I put it in N the rattle goes away but anyway its still annoying. Is there a quick and cheap fix for this? I need it to last a few months before I get headers and a better exhaust system.

Formerly_94PathyMan Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Just take it off, and make sure all wires and hoses don't go near it, unless you have headers, they are pretty much useless, which with headers, who cares let them show. Either way, when mine break, they are off for sure. Can someone say "Scrap Metal"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jhartne14 Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 I had this problem also. Grabbed some metal zip ties from home depot and wrapped them around the shield. It worked for a little bit and then came back. Got pissed and just ripped the scrap metal off because bolts had rusted through. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
