6 month old 2003 Baja with less than 10k miles on it has recently developed a noise from underneath the vehicle while under hard acceleration which sounds like a loose heat shield. Is it too soon for this to be the case?
What's that rattlin' noise?

No, stuff happens. I had one of the fasteners on the front right wheel well let go less than six months after I bought my Outback. The fasteners are made of plastic and sometimes they break.
I suggest crawling underneath the car and checking.
My Baja drove me nuts til I figured out the jack was loose and rattling.
