Yes. Heat shields are a common problem. There is also a "resonator" between the Y pipe and the rear muffler. It has a tendency to deteriorate inside and cause a "buzzing" sound (like a coffee can full of bumble bees). Many have cut the resonator out and replaced it with straight pipe, since replacement is in the 500 buckeroonie range.
