Heat shield Replacment

Hey fellow G owners,

I come looking for advice as I have not bought any parts for my car yet bought it recently.
Car is from new England and A 2011 so My heat shield around my Cats are pretty rusted out making anooying!!!! rattling noise I have pretty much made the rattling noise go away by breaking off the corroded pieces but now it is back So I am looking to just replace both of them looks like an easy job.

So anyways I'm just looking for advice on what part I need and where to buy it from and any advice on the install or anything relating to my problem from your experience Thanks in advance.
2011 g37x sedan thanks !

cut them off completely with tin snips.The end.

They are part of the cats and not sold desperately...I drove for several years without them without any problems. If you really want to replace them you could wrap them with muffler tape but I doubt it'd make a difference you'd ever notice.

How much is a replacement?

My wife hit a dead deer in her Honda Accord and it mangled a heat shield. Replacement cost me <$20 and was held in by 4 screws. I’d probably replace it if it’s reasonably priced.
