Thread: Puma decat pipe, turbo heat shield attachment

I put a decat pipe on my vehicle last year and bodged up an attachment for the bottom edge of the turbo heat shield, it has not lasted well and I want to do something less dodgy and more permanent. Before I reinvent the wheel, wondering what others have done with this that has been successful?
ps talking 2.4 here, 2.2 is quite different apparently.

Thought I'd update this thread with some photos of the solution I made as it might help others.
I was unable to weld something onto the pipe as I don't have TIG and I had already wrapped the pipe. To be honest, i think this is better than a bracket welded on as the pipe is able to be properly wrapped.

I would have preferred to do this in stainless but I wasn't able to get hold of suitable material at short notice (we were just about to head off on a trip) so I used some gal from bunnings- 30x3 if memory serves, bent over a gas cylinder to match the curve of the cat. Could have tapped the M5 holes but I chose to use rivnuts.
I was expecting it to work loose and need a few adjustments until it had bedded in but it didn't require this. Completed the trip, 10,000 brutal kilometres, and this did the job perfectly.
