I know there is a heat shield above the cat and below the gas tank. My question is do you guys have a small one on top of you i pipe about half way back? I have some sort of shield there and it is rattling like crazy. So, Im just wondering why it may be there.

I had this exact same problem. Went to the repair shop about four times with it, as they said they, "Fixed" it everytime.
I finally made them show me what the hell it was doing and watched them fix it properly this time and I havent had any problems since.Summer:<br />1999 Black Pontiac Firebird Coupe<br />5-speed, T-Tops, Chrome Rims, TA Hatch, Reflective Decals.<br /><br />Winter:<br />2000 Silver Grand Am GT<br />Reflective Black Badge Overlays, chrome -
It doesnt seem like they attached them very well. I was thinking about getting a new cat back soon, so maybe I can get away with just cutting it off.
Thanks for the response Blazing.Comment

I.m dealing with a heat shield problem as we speak. I can't seem to locate the stupid rattle and its really testing my patience. I'm gettin' ready to get a couple of jack stands and take matters into my own hands...if you know what I mean.
