whilst i was refitting my engine undertray yesterday i noticed that there was this metal sleave thing hanging of one of the exhaust pipes, it was about 15cm long i guess, just before the cats, it was mainly rusted away and only just hanging on, there was not one on the opposite pipe, just wondered if i need to replace them or not? i assume it is some kind of heat shield ? ill take a picture of it later..

yep, they are heat shields. I removed them on my urs4 as theyd come loosed and were rattling, touch wood not problems as yet. No obvious signs of perishing to anyhting near it. ie engine mounts etc.

by the look of the one that fell off in my hands i dont think it was doing much heat shielding . it would be nice to replace them i guess.
