Which heat sheild? Without the sheilds, underbody tar may start to melt/burn off around the catalytic converter. The manifold sheild prevents excessive heat build-up in the engine bay.

Although... many of us have takend it off due to anoying rattle and have had no problems.

That doesn't mean nothing will happen later or if the reprecussions aren't simply noticable for the time being.

IMHO, take it off baby!
