Are heat shields necessary?
So I have lots of exhaust buzzing and rattling. I think most of it is the heat shields, but I suppose my resonator could be contributing as well.
Are the heat shields on the front pipes really necessary? I would prefer to replace them, of course, but I imagine they would be quite pricey to buy new. So I'm thinking I'll just take them off unless there is some major reason not to. I don't drive in dry hay fields or anything like that. Then at least I'd be able to tell where the rest of the noise is coming from. Or if someone has a used set of heat shields (non-rusted-to-pieces) that they are selling cheap, let me know.
