Exhaust line heat shield
Hey everyone!
I got a question for ya'll!
The other day while driving, I started to hear a pretty annoying rattle from beneath my car. After some investigation, it turned out to be the hear shield.
It seems that my heat shield had started to fall apart or become loose.
My question to all of you is.... is the heat shield something I should replace? Does replacing it add any value or can I just rip it off and leave it off?
Please let me know your thoughts.
Thanks!

heat shield adds value by shielding your car from heat
go to a junkyard and find one.

i have that annoying sound too but it's coming from the one above the jpipe that can move. i'm considering just buying a new one and replacing it myself (need to take off the jpipe for that one).
does your heat shield make the rattle noise when you shut your doors too?

is it the one above your jpipe? or the one in the very back above one of the mufflers?

I don't really have the cash flow to replace the part if it's not extremely important as there are some other things id rather focus on but i wanted to get a consensus for all your zines since you are all experts.

I used to have the same problem. I fixed by taking a flathead screwdriver, putting it under edges of the shield and tapping it with a hammer so that the edges of the heat shield were bent a little bit and didn't have space to vibrate. This may work for you.
