iwanprice12 Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Having been under the car over the weekend, I've noticed the heat shield around the Cats (especially driver side) is very rusted & worn, with bits starting to fall off. Cannot afford HFC atm, so was wondering if it's worth ripping/cutting the heat shields off or replacing them with OEM cats again. There does seem to be a rattle, especially when reversing. Just wondering if removing the heatshields will compromise them at all i.e fail MOT etc. Any advice welcome, Thanks, Iwan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 (edited) Mine fell off and were removed due to rust .Went through MOT no bother, I don't think none OEM cats have heat shields. Edited June 7, 2015 by Renegade 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwanprice12 Posted June 7, 2015 Author Share Posted June 7, 2015 Thanks for that. i realised that aftermarket ones don't have the shields. Will just pull them/cut them off then! :-). Will eventually replace them sometime in the near future! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iwanprice12 Posted June 8, 2015 Author Share Posted June 8, 2015 WoW! Thats some rust! Hmmm...I know. Seems to be a lot more on the driver side for some reason! Think I will just pull the shields off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
