heat shield racket

[waddsn1060]

My heat shield makes loads of noise. How can this be fixed? Will taking it off cause problems? Improvements?

Use a hose clamp to secure it if you can.

Go to a muffler shop and ask them to weld it. Most will do it for free.

I asked a shop to weld one for me on my SLO, and they told me that it was better to just hose clamp it. Something about burning a hole in the cat or the pipe.

I dunno, but I just pulled it off and said the **** with it. It's just a SLO, how much heat can it throw out, and it was the bottom side of the cat anyway.

I had one of mine welded back on. The other one fell of a month later, still sitting in my trunk waiting to be welded back on.

Hose clamps or wire twist them to the cat. I have my wife's eclipse heat shields so wired up you'd swear they're on crack.

(Sorry it's been a long day)
