when i was putting my greddy evo onto my car i took off the heat shield...the exhaust was kind of a tight fit cuz i was using a LS exhaust because the greddy evo for 94 -99 doesnt fit my car cuz in 2001 the gsr fuel pump got relocated and was in the way..(the store i got it from got me a 99gsr exhaust at first, it didnt fit for **** so they got me the 99 LS) ...anyways about the heat shield...is it necessary for me to put it back on?!? am i doin any damage? let me know please

 

I am assuming that you just removed the lower half of the heat shield. If that is the case, then no there is not a single thing to worry about. I wouldn't even worry about it if you removed the top half either.

 

you might notice your shifter getting a little warmer, but its no big deal. no worries.

 

your car will catch on fire!!! j/k

 

Actually be careful not to drive over dry grass....definately start that up in flames.
