Squeek coming from under the vehicle

[tyler2562]

my friend has a volkswagon golf 1996 and when the car is up to operating temp and you are stopped at a light soemthing underneath it sqeaks. We had it up on a lift and it sounds like it is coming from the exhaust, around the cat....could it possibly be the cat is gettin plugged? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

its normally the heat shields on the exhaust manifold or the cat.

yeah, i checked them when i had it on the lift and i couldnt seem to get it to stop by holding pressure on the heat sheild or anything...im gonna have it back up in a few days so i will check it again, thanks for the help
