Exhaust heat shield question

[roccit_53 at hotmail.com (C Boyko)]

Good to know, ands all that weight savings too eh. Serously, the various 
rattles and buzzes were making me nuts for quite some time. And it was a 
good "get rid of your frustrations job. Another "inspiration" was it would 
go sideways and rest on the O2 sensor wire. I figured I was on borrowed time 
on that one.
