Default heat shield

Any reason to keep the heatshield around the Cat coverter? I took it off when I installed my exhaust and having a hard time getting it back on any reason I need it on or will it be fine without it? I'm sure I could get it on if I need to its just tight spaces and I don't see a point in having it anyway.

Lol you just put the piece over it and another piece under the cat and put a bolt through them in the 4 corners.
