chuck 0 Posted May 30, 2003 the big one - that bolts around the exhaust downpipe. Is this really necessary. I asked ATS to loosen the downpipe bolts so that I cuold remove the head. It common recent fashion they couldn't get at one, and so proceeded to bend the cr@p out of the heat shield in a vain effort to remove it. then he realised theres a balance on the subframe that if romoved would allow access to that 1 bolt. So the jobs back to me. When I lower the down pipe I should be able to remove the mangled heat shield. What I need to know is do I relly need to replace it?
