last night i encountered the imfamous rattle..im aiming more towards it being the heatshield for the cat...but theres the possibilty of it being the b pipe ive heard about...either way what would be a quick fix for either..heatshield i"ll probably just tighten up ,if possible but if its the b pipe..i have no clue...what are your suggestions, tips etc...thanks in advance to all with positive feedback...

a pic of the b pipe quick fix would do me good just in case its that or for future reference...

I just removed them.

 

i got a large metal strap around mine. the honda dealer did that when they replaced my timing belt and it was a no charge item

 

can u explain how u did it cause i helped my brother take off his heat shield when it started to rattle and we went through hell to get it of...basicly ripped it off cause of the bolt that goes in under the cat..we couldnt reach it to unscrew it...so we hammered and chiseled it off...the b pipe i have no clues about..thankz

 

It's just a few 10 mm bolts that I got with a ratchet. Although I did have to cut the section that went around the O2 sensor for the cat heat shield.

But the other two just came off easily.

 

the 10mm bolts are for taking off the heat shield correct...what about if its the b pipe rattling..do u have a fix for that...thankz alot for the positive feedback...
