Where to purchase rear exhaust/gas tank heat shield? - Toyota Yaris Forums

komichal · 08-24-2022, 03:40 AM

My heat shields corroded away completely quite some time ago.
When I visited the local shop and requested replacement, the mechanic was looking at me like I was completely nuts.
He said that he has seen literally hundreds of cars without these and nobody was solving that. Many people actually lose them without even knowing it.
And he actually made a good point that if the heatshield was sooo critical for safety, it would certainly not be made of thin corrodable material which is only hold in place by two tiny bolts.
