Pass. side heat shields The heat shields by my passenger side header are rattling alot. I looked at them and I can't see anything they are actually shielding. Is it safe to just rip those rattly bitches out or are they necessary ??

Ok it looks like I didnt get the right one because there is still a heat shield ratlle driving me nuts. I am going to go to town on the heat shields tomorrow and rip off any that look like they might not be serving any function.
Any in particular that I should leave alone??

Anyone else yanked off alot of their heat shields? How many are there???

Just an fyi..
I had a terrible rattling and what it ended up to be was the catalytic convertor heat shield..
Took it over to Mieneke Muffler and they tack welded the catalytic convertor heat shield and all was quiet again..
Just a possibility to consider.
Good luck
