acceleration noise found! how to fix??

[Soma576@xxxx]

Hey all,

i think the noise i've heard upon accelerating from 2500-2900 RPM is a thin 
metal heatshield that goes over the pass side exhaust manifold. it is super 
rusty and loose because it looks like some straps or mounts are broken.

trouble is, i can't find this shield in the part manual - all i see are two 
shields that go on top of the crossover pipes in back... or is the right one 
the one that i need? doesn't look like the right shape though. the thing 
that is loose on mine wraps around the manifold. 

i'm guessing this is something i should leave to an exhaust repairman to fix, 
what with all the old rusty exhaust hardware around there. does anyone know 
what i'm talking about here? or is this a job that i should be able to do? 
(i'm pretty handy but not when studs break off....)

Later,
Andy
