Tin Top Exhaust
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.
Mark

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

If a bolt is stuck force it.
If it breaks, it needed replacing anyway!!!
