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?

Tried bending it but it's as far as it can go it only vibrates when the road gets a bit rough but still drives me nuts
