Excellent idea!  Thanks.  I'll try it out this evening.  What size did you end up getting?

Due to this being part of the exhaust system and exposed to high heat 
the bolts are probably rusted in place. You may not be able to
tighten them. The top bolt on mine actually sheared in half allowing 
the heat shield to rattle when the engine was running (talk about 
sounding like a VW!) I resolved it with a simple stainless steel hose 
clamp. I put it around the heatshield and crossover pipe and
tightened it down. It was amazing how nice the car now sounds! It was 
rather easy to do from below the car and only took a few minutes.
