Default Nuespeed heatshield rattle

i just noticed that the heatshield becomes loose after drivingevery couple days. I never really got the shield tightened firmly since i first installed it cus there was just no way i could get a wrench to reach all the way back to the two screws in the back of the shield. so i was wondering how everybody else got their shields tightened? any suggestion?

Call Neuspeed and tell them your problem. If there customer service is like it has been the past 15 yrs I have delt with them they will get you to a tech and explain the how too.

steven7677 > Just know it can be done. I know those two shield screws are a pain, but there is a particular angle that works. I used a small crescent and was able to tighten them down snug.

Talk to Joe or Aaron at Neuspeed for assistance if you can't make it work.
