Hey guys. So the heat shield on my cat was rattling so a few days ago i removed it. I havent done any long drives so i cant say weather the floor will get hot or not. I just wanted to see if anyone thinks it will be a problem or not?

I dont think it will cause a problem. The floor will get warm but not on fire.

Got a question, to the guys dumping their exhaust before the rear axle, what are you using for support? My tail pipe broke in half just before the rear hanger and I'm looking for a good place to support the weight from so I'm not stressing the manifold too much.

Mine was held up by the hanger under the back seat. But the outlet on the GP was rusty and the turndown broke off It was a smart set up though.

there is a factory hanger there? i dont recall seeing one, but my rear hanger broke once and i fixed it, now the pipe broke just before the hanger...i'll look by the back seat for something that may have broke. just need a good spot for it.
