Re: Another heat shield question
Why would you want to? The manufacturer put that shield there for a
reason. What's your reason to remove it?

Re: Another heat shield question
If there is a heat shield there must be heat and anything underneath that
heat obviously must be protected. For example, park over some grass on a
warm day with the engine running--it gets hot under the car and without some
of the protective shields there is a potential for fire.
