Recently my 2000 Xterra has had a horrible vibrating rattle from underneath the car. I talked to my dad about it and he said its just the heat shield for the exhaust. It only rattles when I first start it up and idling. What should I do about it? I'm not sure if I can bolt it back in, would it be so bad if I just took it off?

PEZi, how did your 720 do going around the cones? Now that you painted it flat black it's a carbon copy of the 720 I owned about 10 years ago. Damn has it been 10 years? Wow, I'm old now!
