Hi Group,
Quick question, BOTH exhaust heat sheilds (the ones that wrap around the box behind the rear wheel arch) on my 997.1s have become loose and vibrate like crazy against the exhaust on idle. one of them became loose last summer, but I managed to secure it (until now)...
My question is, are these absolutly necessary? - are there any members on here whose cars dont have them? - Are they essential or can I just cut them out & end the rattling for good? I know the heatsheild at the rear protects the plastic bumper from the heat, but not sure of any adverse consequences for removal of those that wrap around the exhaust boxes?
Thanks in advance
