I have a vibration sound coming from what seems to be the heat shield. I've tried tightening/moving it around and it still makes the sound. Its prodominately on cold start ups, but now im hearing it even when the car is warm. I really can't stand it cuz it sounds ghetto. So my question is should I just take off the heat shield all together? If it was a small piece I wouldn't even ask, but it seems that its not your average heat shield...Its pretty big. Thanks!

I think I get that same noise. Sounds like a vibrating tin can right?

My exhaust tip is rattling against some thin sheetmetal near the exhaust cutout on the bumper. I think I may have to Dremel it.
