Re: muffler question
This is the heat shield, correct Keith ? Been along time since I had an OEM muffler but, my guess is, it would go on top to shield heat from floor area.

Re: muffler question
Yep, I suspect what you are looking at is a heat shield. Goes on the top.
& yes they do (on occasion) make annoying noises.

Re: muffler question
Just went through the same thing Keith. I've been caked in rust for days now! The one for my 98 didn't have a heat shield though. I think the later models had the shields on the body.
