What sort of noise is it?

When I got mine done, the heat shield was rattling so we just took it off..

Check to see if its a leak. If so then install new gaskets.

Yes, there is a annoying metallic colored heat shield that goes above the B-pipe. It it secured by 1 bolt I think thats connected to the undercarriage of your car and just wraps over the pipe. I called Acura about it and they said it is OK to take off. That is a problem in most integra's. My cat. heatshield was missing (rusted off) two bolts so my cat shield was rattling erradically so I took that off as well.
