Well when i was trying to park yesterday i heard the loud raddleing noice comeing from my muffler, so i checked it today and the heat sheild on top has rusted on the one side but is still connected on the other, should i get something to reattach it, or just cut it off, and if i should re attach the rusted part, what should I use to do that?

 

just cut it off, you dont need no sticking heat shields.

 

Take it off, it's fine.

 

If you dont want to cut it off use a coat hanger

 

that would just rattle more.

Cut it off.

 

I took mine off and then a few months later I heard a similar rattle. It ended up being the inner piping. The weld broke on it so it rattled almost all the time.

 

well it stop the rattleing on mine, but mine was not rusted,
yeah your better off cutting it off.

 

I'd keep it on if I were you. Just remove it so someone can weld it back or something, then reinstall it. Afterall, the fuel tank is near there, and we wouldn't want it to be getting too hot around there now would we?

 

the heat coming off your muffler isn't gonna do anything to your fuel tank. Of the millions of people driving around with exhausts (aftermarket or OEM) without heatshields, how many have you heard of that have caught the gas tank on fire, or anything else for that matter? Pretty much every aftermarket exhaust (at least every one I've heard of) has no heat shields, just about every exhaust shop job has no heat shields, and probably less than 50% of factory exhausts on the road have heat shields. If it rattles, and if rattling, useless garbage annoys you, cut it off.
