The heatshield is rattling all the time and its bugging me, my father told me just to rip it off, hahah but hes like half dumb, but umm what can i do to get it to stop rattling?

 

From the exhaust? Im having the same problem and I cant stand it, it makes me sound like a ricer and I drive a ****** domestic!!!!

 

yup thats why its bugging me

 

Why can't you take it off?

 

rip it off, or bend it back and rig somthing up to hold it in place...

 

just ripp it off lol..

 

Which heat shield are you talking about again?

 

its usually cause people have no idea about cars and thinks its gonna wreck their cars

 

rip that **** off yo

 

Factory warranty works wonders...had that problem with the boyfriends 05 SS/SC, took it into the dealership I was working at, covered under warranty and no more rattling....I agree though, that was one of the worst sounds, definitely sounded like a ricer, I was embarassed to drive it!!!....Theres a thread started a lil while back about this also...you guys aren't alone, this is a reoccuring problem!

 

thinkin we gunna need to see some pics to say somethin but i would prolly just bend the crap out of it to make it do for now

 

lol possibly

 

its the heat shield over the resonator, i have an aftermarket corsa exhaust so would that have caused anything and can i jsut rip it off?

 

I dont see why not

 

is it really neccesary?

 

just take it off. THen later on if you see a whole burnt through the floor put a fresh layer of carpet in lol j/p. Take it off it will be fine.

 

No, it isn't.

 

it isnt fine?

 

Do not rip parts off your car.

Is it warrantied? Go get it fixed for free.

No? Go to midas and have them weld it back on.

 

When I worked for one of GM's competitors, We wrapped LONG hose clamps around them and snugged them up. Worked quite well. Warranty would be a better option if it is available though.

im not sure if warrenty will do it, i do have the corsa right there, will they say something about that?

 

it's not a MUST HAVE part, you don't really need it. Kinda like the plastic air dam up front.

However, if your warranty is still intact, i would suggest you take it to the dealer and have it fixed for free

No, I don't think it matters what exhaust you have. as long as you haven't voided your powertrain warranty (like me ) with smaller pullies, etc. they get kinda iffy when they see aftermarket power mods, and tend to void warranties

 

nope my pulley and everything else is stock, just besides intake and the exhaust

 

then you are fine. take it to the dealer and make them fix it.

 

alrighty, and i gotta tell them to give me a reflash due to the gay weird idle the car has, and the clicking axels once again!!!
