Heat Shield fell off - Need replacement qucik

[westwind77]

The heat shield between the muffler and exhaust tip ( 'C' shaped ) has come off. The 3 attachment points have corroded and it is now sitting/laying (and rattling loudly) on top of my exhaust. I looked at the '10 parts manual on here and on page 68 they show the system and my other shields but NOT the one I need. Anyone have an updated manual that might show it or know the number? I could pad it with larger washers as a 'temp fix' if really needed.

I plan to have it at the dealership on Thursday for basic maintenance but would like to tell them to order the right part as I am going on a road trip Friday and don't need to hear 'we have to order it' and not get it in time.

Thanks!

Not sure it's needed

Not sure it's needed

I have searched all over online with diagrams and it is nowhere to be found! I have tried to search images of the under-body of the 4R but surprisingly there are not many from under, especially in the rear. I think I am going to try to back the nut off and use a larger washer for now. However I still would like to find the replacement.

Obviously it is there for a reason, whether a good reason or required by a specific law. Other than that Toyota would be pocketing the money if they did not need to have it for one reason or another.

Dropped the spare, pulled off the heat shield. Was able to free the middle and rear attachment nuts. Re-installed with large stainless fender washers on just those two. The front most bolt/nut was going to be far past a PIA to get to, so two will do for now!
