Thanks Finiti35 for your input, I've been kinda nervous about the whole "rattle issue" with the HF cats. John had order the set for me, should arrive sometime this week (depends on this holiday weekend), I just hope the mechanic @ Lokey know what I'm taking about and doesn't give me the ? look.

John @ Lokey is a great guy. You should have no problems at all with him or his tech's
For some reason the 2005 has more of a problem with clearance. The driver side heat shield needs to be massaged a bit and the passenger side floor may need on one of the corners rounded off on the floor of the car. Its possible that the 2005 motor mounts hold the engine a bit higher than the early versions. I bet when your drive her home you will have a big smile. Pasta

GEE, I agree with you, the Lokey guys have performed the same install on so many cars already, I'm sure they know what they're doing! I never had a problem with the passenger side though, the rattle I had which mysteriously disappeared in 5 min was on the driver side and the vibration I hear now is coming from the driver side too.

I'll have my tech bend the heatshield when I go for an oil change just for peace of mind.

I swear the driver side heat shield comes back to where it was.
I spent 12 hours on the header install and another 2 hours on the shields.
Like I said you will be one happy camper on your drive home.
