If a heat shield is rattling then a bolt is probably loose, or something like that. All of the bolts for the heat shields are those 10 mm bolts you find all over the car.

I think that he means the catalytic converter heat shield. Only early 1st gens had a thermal reactor. It's just a metal sheet between the converter and body that keeps heat out of the car.

thermal reactor is the technical name for the exhuast manifold on the n/as.

Buy a header, then you won't have to deal with that. Or pull off the heat shield there might be a rock or something rattling around. You can either leave them off or put them back on.

My manual calls it the exhaust manifold. :p

My Haynes calls it a reactive exhaust manifold on pg #149.

All 3 of my Mazda manuals say exhaust manifold, so there. :sarcasm:
