Need Help Naming And Finding A Part

[Desert Donk]

There is a light weight aluminum plate protecting a part of the exhaust. A strap on one side of it snapped where it meets the plate and it rattles. It makes my truck sound like a piece of junk going down the street. A buddy of mine once tried to weld it but he didn't think it would hold. Said he wasn't good with aluminum. Well it didn't hold.

When I search the net looking for a replacement I have used skid plate and brush guard. Skid plate shows me all the heavy duty items for the transmission or differential. Brush guard nets me millions of hits for front end enhancements.

Anyone know what the name of that actually is? I think it would help me in finding a new part. And if you have any ideas where to look for one it would be a great help too!

Thanks

It sounds like a heat shield for either the header or the cat.
Is it under the hood or under the truck?

Ah, heat shield sounds right, it's under the truck back by where a rear seat passenger would sit.

Sorry, I screwed up and this is a duplicate. Please post to the other. Thanks
