    Sounds like the exhaust shiled. If it is, just use a medium sized radiator hose clamp to secure it. jjj

    Rip that cat heatsheild off, problem solved. :smt023

    What the heck does it protect anyway? I've always wondered that. "Well gee, we don't want the ground below us to get too warm, let's throw a heatshield on the cat"

    Ya, my manifold cover is even ugly, let alone the rusty piece underneath it, so I sanded it up and painted it gloss black, looks a lot better now. It's been over 3 years since I did that and the paint has only peeled in one little spot.

    Hmm, i might do the same :D Easy job?

    There's only 3 bolts I think that hold the cover in place, take it off, wash it down with some Simple Green. Let dry (sand it with high grit sandpaper if you wish, it's not too neccassary). Paint with high heat paint found in any auto parts store, most don't even need primer. Three coats will do ya fine, let dry to the touch. Install cover back on and drive car around so it "bakes" the paint on.
