mpg9999 10-04-2002, 06:22 PM Ok, ever since I did my header install the heat shield has been ratteling. I tried hose clamps to tighten it down, but that didnt work. Would it be ok if I just took it off? Im just sort of worried that ill be sitting at a light with dry leaves under me and when I drive away ill see a nice little fire. What do you guys think? TIA -Mike Michael T. DeLoach 10-04-2002, 06:56 PM If your talking about the heat shield on the bottom side of the cat go ahead and take it off. I haven't had one on my 94 for at least 5 years.

Start taking shit off!! :D Chris93SER 10-06-2002, 12:46 AM Mine has been sitting in my garage since it rusted and my Dad ripped it off about 4 or 5 years ago (Before he gave me the car). The bottom shield really serves no purpose, unless you decide to park on a pile of leaves. :p mpg9999 10-06-2002, 02:18 AM you mean like those leaves in your driveway ;) Chris93SER 10-06-2002, 10:50 PM haha. :) Originally posted by mpg9999 you mean like those leaves in your driveway ;) David SE-R 10-06-2002, 11:04 PM Ever since I put my HS headers and exhaust I hear that noise. I knew it was coming from between the header and the exhaust but couldnt figure out exactly where. It sounds like an RX-7 rotary engine. Shit, now I know. :rolleyes: SmoothDaddyFig 10-07-2002, 08:12 AM Originally posted by Classic XE It sounds like an RX-7 rotary engine. Shit, now I know. :rolleyes: LMAO!!
