My exhaust is very loud. I was told a cover or screen on the exhaust is missing and needs to be welded on. What would that exactly be called? Is it the heat shield?

Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros.

The heat shield won't cause a leak to make it loud. I'm not sure which component you are referring to, but the only thing I can think of with something that appears like a screen would be a flex pipe. Can you upload a pic of the component?

Let me know.

Joe
