How To Silence Exhaust Shield Rattle 

Thank you! I've been looking for someone that had the same "various RPMs" issue too. This finally answers my question! (2013 Toyota Prius - Package 4) It's been tricking me for a while because it sounds like it's coming from around the B pillar when I'm driving uphill in Power Mode.

Excellent, clear DIY. Thank you for doing this!

Thanks for the video! This one was way more original than "just add rivets".

Re-purposing galvanized strap for another use................I like it. Good solid fix.

Great help. I have this situation on mine. Thanks👍

Brilliant. Well done!

Very nice! I had the same issue with my 2010 Prius years ago. I fixed it with a thin metal "washer" I cut off from a can and drilled a hole through it. The noise comes back again now and I'll try your recommended galvanized hanger strap this time as it looks more sturdy.

Great idea. On decent ones, I'd replace all bolts to stainless & use stainless split/lock washers. Of course, I live in the rust belt.

YOU ARE TALENTED !!

Good job...would suggest to isolate between bolt/strap and aluminum shield so will not happen again...dissimilar metals cause corrosion of the more anodic material.

Good stuff thanks for sharing

How is the hybrid battery doing after the replacement?

Heat shield for my 07 camry 4-cylinder above the >"Muffler"< itself had became completely loose. Removed, no rust very thin. Is this required to have it reinstalled?

Just happened to my wife's 2010 Camry. Two dissimilar metals cause corrosion in one, and the aluminum shield corroded away. New England rust belt.

Hello thank you for the video have the same issue with my 2008 Mercedes Benz GL450 just a suggestion instead of the metal wire you use wouldn’t a larger metal washer work better you can buy a pack at the hardware for less than 5.$ also rivets work great if the bolts are striped or broken…

Solution looks easy enough for me to DIY :D

Would a large washer work better because it would be more firm?

Is that roll called a glavanished steel strip? Thanks

Have the same issue on my 2014 Nissan Frontier. Finding the correct heat shield is almost impossible lol.

I use penny washers and a fibre washer underneath so the steel of the washer doesn’t react with the aluminium. At least Toyota use a decent size bolt and washer on the original

I hear something like that but only when I accelerate not when idle. Could it be the same?

Well done, well thought up. But I want to close up a comment for you, your Prius needs rust removal and anti-corrosion treatment! If this is not done, it will soon rot to holes Молодец, хорошо придумал. Но хочу заделать вам замечание, на вашем Prius надо устранить ржавчину и сделать антикоррозийную обработку! Если этого не сделать он скоро сгниёт до дыр.

why not just get a bigger round washer new bolts from hardware store?

Even better to use Aluminium.

good to check on that as a cause for rattling noise, in a worse case a mechanic could diagnose it as a bearing damage /problem with the crankshaft, and jus by this wrong diagnosis you would throw away your car or sell it for cheap

just buy some penny washers

I think you took this apart just to do a video. Like wtf bolts out smh

My Ferrari California was making this sound. It was really loud. It’s embarrassing.
