What's This?

The gray thing that covers the header, what is it? Could I get rid of it without hurting the car?

Your engine bay will get hotter.. thats why its called a heatsheild. Id leave it in just because the stock exhaust manifold is rusted and uglay.

take my advice...unless you're getting an aftermarket header or turbocharger - keep that heatshield on. It doesn't hurt anything, but it does mask that UGLY cast-iron manifold.
