I'm having a similar issue possibly with what I believe are 1 of the catalytic coverters. It's rattling like crazy when I go over a bump. Went underneath and one of what appears to be the cover is lose,though entire converter and pipe are solidly attached. Does this mean it needs completely replaced? or is there a way to refasten this "heat shield"?
