Simple question.
No but it keeps SOME amount of heat trapped instead of letting it get near the radiator and leaking out to the rest of the engine bay. And it keeps people from seeing the ugly as hell stock header.
But no you don't need it.

Then my car should've died a long time ago because I've been running no heat shield for almost a year now ever since it rusted off.
