My exhaust has recently started to rattle. I think that I have found the source. It seems to be a flat metal plate coming down at a slight angle from directly behing the cat. The rattling doesn't seem to happen until the car is fully warmed up. I think the plate might be a heat shield of some kind. Any one else experienced this problem. If anyone knows how to fix this problem, please let me know. Thanks!:)

hehe ahh the heat sheild aorund the cat. try and squeeze it with a rag and ur fingers and see if u hear rattling...pinpoint the spot...get some JB weld or some super high temp glue and glue that point. some people rip off that piece...but id be scared cause things can catch fire...

there are other alternatives...some drill a new hole on the sheild and put a new bolt and nut to hold it down....

sounds nasty huh?

i wonder if i have the location right?

Thanks. I will try that. The plate that is rattling is not actually the cats heat shield. It is kinda connected to it. It comes down at an angle from the back of the cats heat shield. I will have to get under there and see exactly what is making the noise. Thanks again.
