Re: Downpipe heatshield rattling?

[Cheapass Ron <rapieper@yahoo.com>]

What car?  I just replaced the downpipe on my 16v.  My old one did not
have a heat shield, the replacement did, which I removed to facilitate
the install.  The shield was a long, flat C-shape, held in place by two
long, small diameter (m4?) bolts that clamped it over the two pipes.  I
won't lose sleep over it's disappearance, my old one was in there god
knows how long with no apparent ill effects.
