hey you're pretty close to me.
water boiling would be the radiator overheating.

i forgot exactley where the bolts are. you should have no problem finding them though. but before i put my straight pipe on, i just removed the heatshield itself, along with everyother heatshield for the exhaust systen. and my rattling went away.

still no luck
