ZippyVR6 0 Posted December 24, 2005 Reversing onto a mates drive I caught what looks to be a shield for the exhaust on the center post on the drive. Big graunching sound and im left with a bit that hangs loose and now catches on speedbumps. :( What is it? and is it expensive? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
h100vw 0 Posted December 24, 2005 Just the heatshield for the cat. Tin snips to cut the rest off. Remember not to park on any long grass in summer. Gavin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blue_Joe 0 Posted December 24, 2005 Looks like the heat shield for the cat. Personally I'd just cut it off and forget about it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6 0 Posted December 24, 2005 It's the heatshield for the cat. There to protect the cat from bumps and scrapes and also stops the hot exhaust igniting grass :) Can just remove it but would be best to replace or repair. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trig 0 Posted December 24, 2005 Mine had 'one foot in the grave' and was making a really annoying reverberating noise at certain revs., couldn't work out what the noise was, eventualy realised it was the heatshield and bent it into place :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
