heat shield removal
the heat shield that goes over the over-axel pipe is rattleing against the underside of the car. Is it ok to remove this?

Re: heat shield removal
Well I don't know if anybody on the board has remove there and have good inputs. But it's design to protect your fuel tank from heat build up from the exhaust pipe.

Re: heat shield removal
My duals dump before the axle so the exhaust doesn't go near the gas tank anymore. when I dropped the tank for a fuel pump swap I took it off and don't intend to put it back on.

Re: heat shield removal
I removed all of my heat shielding when I did my exhaust system. No biggie, haven't had a problem yet. That was in March of 02.

Re: heat shield removal
That's what I'm talking about. I removed ALL of them. The over axle one, the under tank one, the over cat one.
