Default Exhaust Manifold Cover Question

hi guys, i was wondering if running my car (94 Accord) would sound any better with the exhaust manifold cover off and will it do any damage to it if i keep it off.
thanks

it has no effect on sound. it will be hotter under your hood though.

if you have the stock header leave the heatshield on. the stock cast iron piece is ugly as hell anyway.

if you have an aftermarket header the heatshield wont fit and the tubular steel design dissipates heat better.
