You were a problem child weren't you? Removing the heat shields will have no effect on performance whatsoever.In an N/A I'd be amazed if you could feel a slight drop in power. If you are worried get CV to run it up on the dyno again.

Keep that in mind .. Some of the Nascar Guys uses Manifold Blankets , to preheat there Exhaust Manifolds ...

I had a family member's car in for repair (front-ended a towbar) and the assessor queried the repairer about why the air snorkel was missing - seriously!Other than that there's litttle reason to remove the shield from a vehicle with factory headers.. if anything it will increase heat damage to components nearby under extreme conditions (my extractors used to glow red-pink frequently )
