the heat shield on my passenger side catalytic converter is rattling around. the welds on the top and bottom have come apart on the backside. right now i have used a pretty ghetto fix but it has worked for a week or so with no problems. i clamped down two small c clamps. i was thinking of using a pipe clamp with a jubilee clip and wrapping it around the whole cat. anyone else have any ideas to hold me over for a bit till i get cash to replace it? i was thinking JB weld and remembered it won't hold up to heat that high... help a brother out!

 

If I remember there has to be a bit of air flow gap between the shield and the cat.
If not and it were mine, I would take it to a muffler shop and let them tack it.

 

yeah i guess i should start looking for a reliable muffler place. will need to replace the front part of the exhaust soon anyway.
