  • heat shield under trunk

    I still can't get my Borla cat-back to fit right after 6 months with it on there. After recently cutting off the old cat and s-pipe and replacing it with a high-flow cat and 3" s-pipe, the muffler itseld is now vibrating the heat shield under the trunk. I bent the shield up alittle and stopped the noise in my lower rpm's but once it tachs up, u can really hear it vibrate. I just wanna know if anyone thinks it's really necessary cuz i'm fixin to take it off. I don't think the exhaust gets hot enough back there to worry about a fire anyway. I can drive all day long and get out and touch my exhaust and it's not unbearably hot. I just want some other opinions.

      Yes, removing it would not be wise.
