Just wondering of making a "quick fix".

 

I have facelift -96 J-Spec manual.

 

I`ve been having annoying rattle from exhaust and sourced that it`s coming from FIRST catalysators heatshield. It even rattles on idle.

 

It looks very beaten up so my question is can I just remove it safely?

i wouldt worry abotu removing it, toyota do put a lot of un-neccesary parts on cars.

(dont all companys?)

 

if your woried about temp, decat!

Rattling heatshield made me de-cat my 2nd cat, but would not prefer to raise the exhaust noise anymore by decatting the 1st cat too :)

 

Hmm.. lot of experienced people are saying that I CAN just remove the rattling heatshield on 1st cat :innocent:
