Before you spend money just check the bolts yourself as the heatshields are bolted together, they are not welded on last time I checked.

otherwise do what action man said, any exhaust place will do.

hey guys thanx for the help... anyway i took it to some exhaust place... they had a look at it and then they chucked away the heat shield and said job done... no charge... they guy had a bad attitude... so no heat shield... would that cause too much heat coming from under the car? what u guys think?

heat shield only keep heat away from the body. I would of just had them reweld the heat shield.
