Default Question about header

Can i just remove that metal "sheild" that covers my headers? The accord got rear ended, and it sounds like its leaking up there and i wanted to check it out... Is it just the 3 bolts holding it on?

Well I just took that off to check out the header. Is it okay if i leave it off? Or should i wrap them in heat wrap or whatever its called? Or just put the damn thing back on? It was a pain in the *** getting it off.

You could wrap it or I would just put it back on..otherwise your engine is going to see extra heat
