Exhaust shields, consisting of formed metal sheets, attach to the exhaust system or the dual converter Y pipe using various methods.

Exhaust shields are not subject to service other than:
- replacing missing or damaged attaching parts such as clamps or screws.
- removing debris that may collect in the shield area. If an exhaust shield is damaged or shows evidence of deterioration, use service clamp band to secure.

If an exhaust shield is damaged or shows evidence of deterioration, it should be replaced rather than serviced.

Converter shields are serviceable by replacing the shield using clamps or bolts. If an exhaust shield is damaged or shows evidence of deterioration, it should be replaced rather than serviced.
