Muffler heat shield
Does the SVX really need the muffler heat shield? Has anyone taken theirs off and noticed any negative effects?
Thanks, Ray |

Re: Muffler heat shield
It's there for a reason. Why would you take it off, unless you were re-configuring the exhaust system?
If it rattles (say, when you close the trunk) look to see if there's an accumulation of bits of gravel in the lip along the edge. dcb |

Re: Muffler heat shield
I took mine off (most of the bolt holes had corroded away to about 1" wide) when I installed my exhaust. The trunk stays nice and warm, but not dangerously so.
