I believe so as well..cause mine doesnt have it as well...how much would it cost, if i were to purchase one? or will toyota "gladly" put it in there for free?
So, how do you know you've got a PZEV or whatever? I truly doubt mine is -- I've got the impression in my head that its a ULEV. I suppose that this mostly has to do with state of purchase (CA / NY) or country (Canada), eh?
All 2006 and 2007 Camry's sold in California are PZEV and they don't have the heat shield.

I think Nicu is right. California and some other states (Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hammpshire, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island and Vermont) have a higher emission standar. the 06-07 camrys sold to these states are PZEV and have slightly different exhaust systerm. What you lost for this exhaust systerm is the exhaust heat shield and 5~6 horsepower. What you gain for that is the longer wanranty on the exhaust system (15 years or 150k mile). check your "owner's warrnty info".
So I am in CA, I got PZEV car with ~ 5-6 power less than other also got not so popular american made car. I shouldn't waste my time going to dealer to get that heat shield, correct? Have anyone with no-heat shield contact TOYOTA to see if they will do anything about it?
sorry to revive an old thread but i noticed i dont have the heat shield either... any more word on how this will effect the car in either a positive or negative way?

I think PZEV Camrys are 3 hp less 155 vs 158 and about 2 or 3 less torque.
