Exhaust Manifold cover
OK so I was getting this really annoying rattle and thought it was the throttle cable, so I tied that down - but after doing it, the rattle was still there.
Well today I found it was the exhaust manifold heat shield cover. The bottom 2 bolts are completely rusted off from the manifold so only the 2 top bolts are on, causing a rattle. What's the best way to clamp it down? Wire? Weld it back? Or can I run without this? |

You can run without it as people who have installed a header will attest.
