Can anyone tell me what this is? It rusted off my 2000 Altima. Is it safe to drive without it? Please help. Thanks.

heat shield, looks like its from your cat. its totally safe to drive with it off, but the temps do get really high in the exhaust system. try finding the screws (or getting some new ones) and throw it back up there, just to be safe.
