Alternator pulley mate, bearings work lose very easily, mine does it and needs changing. Nothing major but obv something that needs to be looked at | |

there is one bolted to the manifold, i took mine off months and months ago but getting a viper so heat build p under the bonnet aint really a concern, its the heat shield welded to the down pipes that cause the problem mine does it sounds terrible, gonna rip it off when the engine re-build is complete | |

do you need the heatshield right at the front of your engine bay? cos mine is rattlin and could easily be pulled off. | |

Well I spent about 10 minutes listening last night and it seemed to be coming from either deep or underneath the engine... | |

No cos they wouldnt replace the downpipes jus connect to them, you need an after market manifold, get a janspeed one | |

Check your air filter if you have an after market one and check that it fits tight and does not have a chance to rattle off any metal. Mine used to rattle off bodywork when i pulled away from standstill | |

So are these heatshields not needed then?? Can I just cut them off and have none? | |

nah the heat shields are bolted on, its just the one on the down pipes, get the hacksaw out and cut it off, also check the heat shield on the manifold | |

there are a few heat shields, they are above the exhaust silencers, the main one that is a bugger is the down pipes, they are wrapped in a metal heat shield and its welded on, when this rusts loose metal and that gets between the shield and downpipes and rattles, you have to smash the thing off | |
