good good. i don't want to someone to reply "what the feck you doin you gonna mash up yer engine" !

cause i mangled my stuff when i took it off.

cheers every1

i havent got any heatshields on my exhaust manifold, no problems with it

i ain't talking about that! :lol:

i meant just this bit of metal wrapped round the exhaust, don't have n e wires or ne thing coming out of it!

its a heatsheild with silencer stuff inside it, i think it just protect the downpipes when you hit something like a kerb if you bump up it or sumin.

it ain't a mod or any thing, i just wanted tot take it off cause it rattled alot when driving making me sound like a tractor or sumin.

The 1.4 8v does have them and it is the bit at the front of the engine. Normally has a tube coming out of it going into your airbox.(Unless you've got an induction kit)

i took that bit off mine, but the bit that was rattling was the lower than this, it was wrapped around the down pipes that go under the bottom end.

i dunno if 1.4 8v have em, i don't think i had it on my last corsa - 1.0!

btw in my last post i said it sounds smoother! i meant it makes the engine souynd more healthy when i pull away and that.

is that the manifold thats at the front of the enginge top part of manifold.
ive a 1.4 8v

i've taken mine off now, sounds much smoother.

when i was taking it off on my drive way, this bloke came donw the raod saying what am i running cause my car sounds mint. I was well chuffed!

i've only got a back box and pipercorss induction on a 1.4 16v!!

so did mine just put a big industrial jubilee clip round each end and that solves the rattling straight away!

ah wkkd, my car sounds like i don't look after it when i pull away, rattles like hell!

just cut it off with some snips

ive got heatwrap on my manifold and it does reduce heat slightly

how the hell do you take it off my one rattles too but seems welded to the exhaust i got a GSI

you dont really need any m8, you may just find the engine my gat alittle more hotter, but nothing to worry about, i havent got any heat sheilds on ym 2lt, and mine runs fine, and mine gets well hot.....

i've got a heatsheild bolted to the engine for the manifold and another wrapped around the exhaust lower down, as the exhaust goes under the engine.

do i need to the one that is wrapped round the exhaust, i assume it protects the exhaust from being scraped. the reason being cause mine has rusted and snapped and rattles alot when i pull away.
