heat shields
ok well i was driving down the road yesterday and i heard this really loud clunking noise.. i look under my car and i see half of the cat converter hanging on the ground so i kicked it off.. now every once in awhile ill hear the other half of the heat shield vibrating off of the exhaust.. i plan on gettin a cat back exhaust soon so while im under there puttin it on, would it be safe to just rip the rest of that heat shield off because i no what purpose it serves on the bottom half, so i dont catch fields on firee and **** lol but is there a chance of warpin my floor boards?

only the shields attached to the exhaust not the ones attached to the underside of the car. they serve a purpose

Re: heat shields (userdead626)
can you paint the heat shields if you use like a 500 degree engine enamel? if you paint the shield below the shifter, will that stick stay cooler on a day of driving?

ripped mine off last year and my car hasn't blown up still.
you don't have to unbolt anything. just take a pair of dykes and cut that **** off.

Yes you could paint it with engine enamel paint, but i really don think itd cut down on heat on the shifter, i think thats just a fact of life that ya just gotta deal with

Re: heat shields (jwn7)
im being serious. ive seen it done in the engine bay for the header's heat shield. I got a d16y7 with the POS cat IN the header. so below the shifter, is this heat shield. my shifter gets warm after a few hours of driving. will this heat reflective paint help? worked on my Short ram intake. i can drive, then pop the hood and touch it.
