Hi
My father in law has had to remove the bottom heat shield from his catalytic convertor as it was hanging down and hitting the road.
Is there a problem not having this shield in place?
Whats it for as it does not offer a huge amount of protection?
Cheers for any info.

Unsure but may be there to keep the heat in the cat .
PS also dont park it in any long dry Grass !!!!!

Shouldn't be a problem to take it off, mine was rattling on my Pug 106 and during a routine service the garage just took it off, that was 2 years
ago and still have no problems

the reason for these heat shelds are to keep the heat away from the car thats all if you get a burning smell when you have taken it off put one
back
