Vibration From Heat Shield

[Jon_Purdy]

Hello everyone!

At least thats what I think it is. I just finished installing the C&L "Racer" kit and tune. The heat shield doesn't seem to be secured very well as it just held in place with that one bolt. When I took it for a drive, there is a definite vibration/rattle coming from that part of the car. Any ideas as what I can do to solve the problem?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Remove it, that's what I did.

if you remove it, youll LOSE POWER. you will suck in all that hot underhood air. they call it a COLD AIR INTAKE!! DONT REMOVE THE SHIELD!!!

Yes, yes, I know what everyone says about 'removing' the heat shield...

But, my engine bay looks way cleaner without it and I'm not looking into squeezing every ounce of HP from this K&N kit.

And, I have no problems laying down as much rubber as I want!
