I did it a few years ago and havent had a rattle since. no ill effects that I can see..

falcon04 Member 20 Member For: 14y 5m 7d Posted 05/01/12 10:02 AM Share Posted 05/01/12 10:02 AM hi got a ba xrt sedan, just wondering if anyone has removed the heat shield under the driver seat for the exhaust?one exhaust place told me I could not remove as the cabin will heat up too much!anyway would be good if I could get some ideas of what to do? I would love to take it off as it makes it sound like sh*t from when its sittin at the lights etc....cheers chris.

I noticed a bit more heat around the footwell area in mine but nothing to be worried about.

Just like you could refit your factory ones to an aftermarket system if you wanted.Just fix it, probably equal amount of work, and looks less dodgy if you want to sell down the track.

Mine kept getting fixed then rattling again, drove me up the wall......ha ha.BUT if you have a huge aftermarket exhaust could be a different story with heat etc. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/17314-exhaust-heat-shield-rattle-and-removal-merged-topic/page/9/#findComment-1178723 Share on other sites More sharing options...
