The exhaust heatshield underneath the car is loose? The part isn't very expensive and even at a dealer you shouldn't get robbed.

Sounds like maybe the exhaust manifold heat shield? Again shouldn't cost too much even from dealers.
Soak the shafts of the sheared bolts in wd40 and leave to sit for a while before removing with vise grips
