Hello,

Does anyone know the name of the part encircled in the picture below?

 

 

I would also like to know if it can be easily replaced or not.
Thank you!

Usually not a big job. Definately looks to be easy enough to change considering you have so much access to it. Why are you changing it? 

You would have to unplug the oxygen sensor that pokes up through it (connector accessed from below), then there seem to be three or four screws, the two visible on the top, and an awkward one - maybe two - much lower, near the bottom;  probably also easier to access from under car.

Lots of photos of a secondhand one here: SKODA FABIA 5J MK2 07-14 1.2 PETROL EXHAUST CATALYST HEAT SHIELD 03D253041H | eBay

 

Presumably the photo isn't your car? That one looks perfect?

Thank you for replies!

@Wino yes, the car from the photo is not mine. I found cat poop on that part.... and a few other parts..  it is very dry and I don't know if I'll be able to clean it, so I was curious to know if it can be changed relatively easily (when the engine warms up it smells like cat food in the car).

The substance and the smell will disappear very rapidly.  Not worth the cost and effort to replace.  

Not worth the cost or effort to change it. Get some rags, wheel cleaner or similar and a pair of marigolds and clean it all off.
