Exhaust heat sheild rattle... can i remove it?

[koi]

What glue are people using to stick the heatshield back on?

Not sure about taking it off in case I end up driving a giant fireball :race:

i used shimming material on mine perfect as its easy to cut to the size you need and bends to the shape of the heatsheild as you tighten it up

I also have a problem with my heatsheild rattling? When looking at it it looks like one of the bolts holding it on has sheared? Must of been done before I brought it?

What do people suggest I do about resolving it?

The clips that screw onto the metal spikes that secure the shields break or go rusty. The easiest fix is a large flat washer then a large self tapper nut and screw it up with a pair of pliers. That's what I did with mine and it's solved the problem

Digging up an old thread....but I just ended up removing mine all together!

Removed mine too, no ill effects yet

Mine rattling vibrating at certain revs, just removed the heat shield and still no real improvement....under closer inspection it seems like the innards of the back box are on their way out.....new stainless it is then!
