Hey everyone!

Noticed when I get "on it" a weird metallic rattle. Sounds like passenger side, but who knows.

Video link: here. Sorry, tried using YouTube and it is worthless.

Exhaust heat shield?

I crawled around and wiggled everything, and nothing seemed loose.....

Mine did the same. I had a crack in the exhaust heat shield.

Manifold shields are cracked where they bolt to each manifold.

Use body washers (the big stainless ones) - you find at Ace hardware - soak the hardware for the manifolds in snake oil for a few days ahead of the job.

Sandwich the body washers over the cracked heat shields, will fix it cheap.

Or buy new ones.

These larger OD washers are also referred to as Fender Washers in many locations.
