My scorpion exhaust is hitting the heat shield behind the decat, its the resonator in the system thats causing the problem. Has anyone removed the heat shield under this part? I read that someone said dont because it protects the fuel lines, but the fuel lines run under the car nowhere near the exhaust rite? i think the rear brake lines may run under the heat shield, not sure bout anything else. At the moment i've wrapped some heat wrap round the resonator but it still makes a bit of noise. Any help would be great.

the heat shield covers your handbrake cables, i have had mine off for a while now and no problems yet
ah rite, i may rip it off then, i cant see it causing any trouble, the exhaust will be cooler there than at the header and downpipe anyway
Tell me about it, its an awful fit. good job its only a stop gap till i get a custom one made. I had a play with the back box mounts and may have moved it enough, i think i'll rip the heat shield off still at some point. I think the reason it started hitting was cos it moved slightly, the back box heatshield was falling to bits so i decided to take it off, all was well until both the bolts holding one of the backbox mounts sheared off!! So now i've just got one at the front and one at the back of the backbox. it holds it up alright still, may have to get someone to spot weld the mount back on lol.
I only had 2 mounts holding my back box on and rattled and banged like f00k!
