Cat shield rattle

[99v6cam]

The heat shield or whatever that thing is aroun my catalitic convertor, it rattles at idle. It's annoying and you can hear it over my exhaust. How can I fix this other than getting a new cat?

stainless steel hose/pipe clamp from the local hardware store. you are going to need a biggish one -- 5"-6". look in the drainage section of plumbing. trim off the excess length of the hose clamp after tightening (it might rattle otherwise).

OR remove the heat shield. i had to do this on my fords. its mostly safe (dont park on grass).

pliers.... rip that **** off.

If you wish to remain stock, just head to a general exhaust/repair shop and ask them if they will re-weld it for you. It stays on, stops rattling, and only costs about... 15 dollars?

P.S. I ripped mine off eventually, but for those who are weary of this, the above is suggested.
