I don't think it is a heat shield..been there and done that years ago on other subarus. So you think it is not the 2 into 1 thing but the 1 in and 1 out that is back from it but before the muffler? Can i eliminate that thing?
the metallic sound isn't during braking it is when i hit pot holes, expansion strips and things like that. sway bar bushings? I was under the passinger side on saturday but i failed to look at the driverside (I'm an idiot)
