Heat Shield Removal
I've seen some posts where guys are removing their heat shields (after mods) to stop rattles. Well, I assume the heat shields are there for a reason. What will happen if they remove them?

I'm thinking on the exaust. I suppose they're to prevent heat from going where it's not wanted. Much like the heat shield on your gas grill offers extra protection to ur LP tank when the wind blows the flames down rather than up.

I work at a Nissan dealership and we always remove the exhaust heat shields if they are complaining about rattling
