Noisy catylitic converter
When we bought my fiancée's 1998 Civic EX sedan, there was a nasty buzz, so the dealer removed the bottom heat sheild of the catylitic converter. Problem solved - until recently.
A new buzz has come back and it's now the top cover rattling. Is it safe to run the cat without a cover on the top as well, or should I get a new set of covers? I'm just worried about leaves or something getting on top of the cat and catching fire.

Re: Noisy catylitic converter (Ricey McRicerton)
That's what I kinda figured.
Any idea how much a new heat shield would cost if I did decide to replace it?
