I'm having excessive rattling coming from the driver's side heat shield on the Cat. Is it a big deal if I take it off or is it absolutely necessary? I don't have a welder handy to make a quick bead on the crack. thanks for any help

If this is the one that is under the floor of the rear seat, get a new one and reenforce it with some sheat metal or it will constantly break. If you do not have this and are in any kind of hat weather, you will stand the chance of burning the carpet in the rear seat area. At least that happened on my 95 D1.

you need a welder....take it to a backwoods muffler shop and get it tacked up. should be cheap.
