Did your cutout do this?? I was trying to find out if anyone had this problem........after i got my cutout put on last week my car was making a weird noise when i hit the gas. I jacked the car up today and found out that the rattling noise is the big metal protection thing that mounts to the bottom of the car. It keeps the exhaust away from the car. If anyone had this problem did you fix it? and How?
Thanks in advance
Thanks in advance

Well the heatshield is there for a purpose/reason .. I bent mine out of the way, all my heat shields started rattling from the Longtubes/cutout setup ha ha .. so i had to either bend mine, or tighten them better.. ...

The only heat shield I have on mine is the driver's front; the one protecting the fuel lines. Don't have any problems without them

I ripped that heat shield off a while ago when I was trying to track down a rattle and never put it back on. The girlfriend has told me that the floorboard sometimes gets a little warm during spirited driving but she never considered it hot. So I wouldn't worry about ripping that mother off. As long as you're cutout isn't pointing towards the car.
