The problem with not having a heat shield is when you're stationary. The heat rising from a hot muffler can damage the paint over time, not to mention heating up the inside of the car. Can't you fix the rattle without sticking something between your muffler and heat shield?

Do you have a picture of this heat shield? I just looked at mine and don't see anything b/w the exhaust and the underside of the bumper right above the exhaust.

here is the pic of the heat shield I had to move the muffler to the side so you can see.

Are you sure the muffler itself isn't rubbing it, causing the problem?

As cars get older, I get a louder sound system.
