haha its alright tech i think i know where it is now...i have another question....theres a slight rattle in my exhaust area when im idling...is that my heatshield? is it loose or what? and its really really embarassing when u have a mint condition 90 240 when u drive through a parking lot with that thing rattling...makes ur car look very very bad...well just wondering if it was a loose nut on the heat shield or if it needs a little weld.

I was able to drill all the way through top and bottom of the heat shield and run a long bolt through it with washers on each end. Then squeezed it gently until the rattling stopped.

Most likely the weld broke for the sheild.

Most of the time I just rip them off and throw them away.

Most replacements don't come with the heatsheilds on anyway.
