mine rattles like crazy until the car starts to warm and the metal expands. didn't do that until recently either.

S13Grl · 02-15-2002, 05:19 PM

*ca18guy* · 02-15-2002, 05:42 PM

I guess they don't know how to put them on cause mine rattle too and my car is euro spec.

Nismos14 · 02-15-2002, 05:48 PM

Nismos14 · 02-15-2002, 06:17 PM

Go to a muffler shop and get them done there. You can't really do it properly without the right equipment. I got mine done for free. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

I thought those heat shields were good for exhaust flow? The one near the cat on my car rattles pretty bad, but I didn't want to take it off cauz I heard it was good to keep your exhaust hot or something. Can anybody confirm this?

Nismos14 · 02-15-2002, 10:08 PM

i've heard that once before but i dont see where the benefit is.... unless the gas moves faster when warm? but that makes no sense because warmer gas is more dense right? i dunno...... beated the #### outta me :confused:

i was told they keep your floor board from getting extremely hot, i took one of mine off when i first bought the car, the one right under the driver. it didn't do anything. but try riding 300 miles in a 72 nova with no heat shields. i could have walked across hot coals and wouldn't have known the difference.

*DSC* · 02-16-2002, 04:06 AM

whateverjames, I'm still trying to figure out exactly what that site is, but I just have to post this pic :biggrin:
