tapping noise, catalytic converter plate?

I believe the noise is coming from the catalytic plate and the tapping sound is getting loud. Can this be fixed easily or best done at a shop? Someone mention to remove the plate? Please advise.

Thanks,
LMC

Are you talking about the heat shield? Repair difficulty depends on how/where it's broken. I suppose you could just remove it. But it shouldn't cost much to repair. Take it to an independent muffler shop and have them take a look and give you an estimate. I'd be surprised if it was more than $50.
