Muffler heat shield.

Post by Fiatracertracer »

Can the heat shield be removed without causing reciprocal damage to the metal?

It looks like it is riveted in place.... how do i detach it to get to the floor boards?

Any advice is appreciated.

It's a catalytic converter heat shield. If it's riveted in place, just drill out the rivets.
