The points where they bolt down have rotted away, so the heat shield is dangling and pissing me off. Can I remove it completely with no ill effects, or should I replace it to keep things "proper"?
I'm sure I can mcguyver it back on, but I have no confidence in how long it will hold.
are you talking about the header shield or the others under the car? I've got a few header heat sheilds..your welcome to one if you like.
haha... thanks, i appreciate it, but I'm referring to the ones under the car, specifically the ones near the gas tank.
mcguyver it for sure, it should be fien if you remove it too. or not actually I'm not really sure about it completley......... well I hope I cleared thigns up for ya :P
I removed mine...And I don't have any problem.
yeah, I noticed the other day that my heat sheild was falling of, thanks for reminding me, but mine is under the hood. The bolts are rotted away, what should I do? Thanks.
mine are off only kept the one closest to the gas tank on no problems what so ever
what about the rad and hoses? looks kinda close
I yanked mine off about two weeks ago... Hacked it off with side cutters. No ill effects, yet.
I'll replace it in the summer, maybe...

I think mine is bitching as well... picked up a nasty tinny vibration between 3-5000 RPMs.

I'd keep the ones by the gas tank and the one right off the manifold because the could cause you prolems if they're not there in the future.....long trips with prolonged heat near plastic and rubber,but that is me
the cat cover cost about 75$, its not really hard to replace, but you must cut one side of it off before you install it or remove the EGR tube before instalation. I just cut off bit of it. Must easier :D
I took mine off no problems

So? How is it now? Blow up yet? :lol:
I tried removing the bloody thing -- it's impossible without:
A) dropping the exhaust
or
B) side cutters.
I didnt really want to destroy it in case I change my mind... but f*** it, i've had enough. I'll be snippering the POS tomorrow.
