I used pliers (regular and needle nose) and a flat head screwdriver. The heat shields on my cat were formed around a lip. I had to pry the edges w/the screwdriver and "work" it off w/the pliers.--Traded In--<br />1998 Navy Blue Metallic Camaro (RS)<br />3.8L V6 w/4L60E Auto<br />Sport Appearance Package<br />T-Tops - Loaded<br />_ _ _ _ __________________ _ _ _ _ <br /><br />--New--<br />2003 Victory Red S10 Xtreme w/Silver Stripes<br />2.2 L4 w/MW2 5 Speed Manual<br />LS Package

I installed a bigger I pipe and it is very close to the heat sheild, I want to cut away the 1/4 of an inch that is close to the I pipe.

I would suggest taking them off. Cut alittle, then put them back on. Repeat if needed.
As for what to use to cut them? Hack saw or a grinder of some sort maybe.Keith - 99 'maro - White M5 - bumpstick and boltons - 13.65 @ 101 N/A
