That Annoying Rattle: A Guide to Catalytic Converter Heat Shield Welding in Malaysia

The Simple Shield with an Important Job

The Problem with Temporary Fixes

• Clamps and Wires Fail: Many will try to use a large hose clamp or some wire to silence the rattle. These are temporary at best. The intense heat cycles of the exhaust will cause them to expand, contract, and loosen over a short period, and the rattle will return.
• Welding is the Only Permanent Solution: Re-attaching the shield with a few small tack welds is the same method the factory used. It is the only truly permanent and reliable way to silence the rattle for good.
