Hi all

I have been experiencing a metallic buzzy sound when I hit the
accellerator,
mostly within the 1800-2200 RPM range.

Finally took the car to a shop and they diagnosed it as a loose/rusty
heat
shield. They removed these and indeed the buzzing is gone.

However, I am just wondering if I am asking for any kind of trouble
with the
shields removed.

- shields works as sound/heat/splash insulator, extends piping lifetim
- parking on dry grass; might cause fire more easily
- does it really matter much, dunno. I like to keep them, even have added some beside pass rear wheel, muffler.
- strategically placed metallic tiewraps will take the resonances of

Sorry didnt meant as a reason to panic; most cars dont have such shields. Parking on high, touching, dry grass is just one nuance in life that driver should be check even in Alaska [when dry], with or w/o shields... Why I added some in the rear was b/c I want to squeeze my ol lemon (one rusty spot at rear ruins whole pipe). Really waiting for algore globbal warmuppet here in scandinavia - to get some warm dry grass..

If we only knew how sloppy small thin bolts keep planes up and from droppin on us, we wouldnt be able to sleep, so be/drive happy while ensuring 'eternity ticket'
