Sounds like the heat shield. It covers the exhaust so if you park on top of loose leaves and grass, they don't catch fire.
underbody sheet metal
so i have a rattling noise coming from under my car when the versa is in drive. shift into neutral and its gone. when i took a peek under the car while it was in drive, i saw that the exhaust and muffler were vibrating, and tho this alone may cause the noise, i saw what i thought to be the noise:
as it shakes, it hits against thissheet of metal that seems to cover the underbody of the car in some places. a certain part of the sheet has been bent downwards so that its no longer up agsint the car, but hanging a little down and when the exhaust pipe vibrates, it hits the sheet and causes the annoying noise.
i was wondering if anyone knew what this sheet was. im either going to bend it back into place or rip it off depending on what its use is.

muzzleNChains is right it is a heat sheild but its for where the exhaust gets close to the underbody so its to keep the car from catchin on fire
so its probably a bad idea to rip it off right lol. my exhaust keeps shaking and hitting a loose bent peice of it and it makes the car sound disgusting. guess i gotta take it to a mech
are the versa exhausts known to be so .. dangly? i saw a '12 sedan in front of me and as it shifted lanes, its tip and pipe just kept dangling. i know it hangs on a rubber, just thought itd be stronger
