wow... it's almost exactly the same thread that was started last year... and the year before

That's the heat shield, as ^^^ said. If you want to really crap a brick, take it off and see how crimped and mangled the DP comes from the factory

I remember when I first bought the car, I took it back to the dealership with 3 miles on it and told them about what I thought was a hole in my downpipe. They took it from me for a full day and did preassure checks. They told me everything was holding preasure just fine. They forgot to mention (and I didn't know until now) that the car came that way, and in fact there wasn't ever a hole. Either they are ****ing retarded or wanted to make it seem like they were concerned and helping me out.
