What is this?
 

Attachment 72721

Girlfriend hit something and whatever this housing is came loose. Looks like part of the exhaust but the car isn't any louder. Could be the housing for a catalytic converter...

She's not leaking fluids so the oil pan is safe at least.

Looks like a heat shield for the exhaust.

Ok I figured it was something like that

Yep. Heat shield.

:iagree:

You let your girlfriend drive your Z?:icon14:

After ex #1 curbed my stock rims, ex #2 wrecked my stock side skirt (right side), and ex #3 used my exhaust tips as leverage to get her heavy @ss (she was an arobics instructor) onto my trunk, and ripped my first aftermarket muffler from the heat shield, never again will a woman take charge of my Z.:shakes head:

Heatshield. Rest of it should grind down/rip off if you cruise around fast enough.

:icon18:

I just ripped it off. Talked to a few people that know hondas and she'd have to replace the entire cat if she wanted to fix the heat shield. Just not worth it imo.

Oh hell no. That's her Accord. She doesn't want to drive the Z anyway.

:roflpuke2:

Just some useless metal there . weight savings if you ask me

My poor '09 Z. I think I literally purchased 3 extra sets of front splash guards on that car because I kept wrecking them. Still hadn't figured RWD out entirely. I had the market cornered on front left 370z splash guards for a while there (because they were only sold in sets).

She wanted me to buy a new cat assembly for the car and I held her by the shoulders and looked straight into her eyes and said, "lol no"

I mean seriously the car is a 2005 with over 130k miles on it. I keep trying to get her to shop for new cars with me but she won't do it.
