    I have a 1998 Honda Civic EX Sedan with 204,000 miles.

    During my most recent oil change, I was informed that my heat shields fo
    my catalytic converters were rattling.

    Does it make sense to replace them since the underside of the car i
    already a heat shield

    Buy some really long worm-type hose clamps in a hardware store plumbing
    department. Use those to secure the heat-shield and keep it from rattling.

    I suppose you could call the underside of the car a "heat shield" of sorts,
    but right against that is your carpeting and interior trim. It's best to
    try and keep the shields on. A new set is about $60 or so.

    I've used a coat hanger in lieu of clamps--has always worked out OK

    can you weld/braze? just tack the shield so it stops rattling.
