eh? what are you doing?

the heat shield is part of the CAT.. you dont wanna buy a new cat to stop the rattle surely?

do like i said in the other post.. wack a big jubilee clip on, or just yank it off (as len has suggested i beleive)..

Mine rattles - it's either getting removed or getting a beating, depends on what I feel like when I get under there!

The heat shield under the CAT was supposed to prevent grass fires! Well thats the only use I can think of!!!!

Oh mine was parked on grass last Saturday at The Royal Bath & West Show! Nothing caught fire!

Dom mate just take it off!
