I took my heatsheild off. Never had any issues with it off  :smiley:

Saved about a 1kg in weight too. :smiley:

The heatshield is the flimsy tin like thing on the underside of the car, above the downpipe etc right? Definitely okay to rip all this off? Mine too has a bloody annoying rattle (well I think it is the heatshield).

Mine rattles at just under 6k rpm, perfect gear change reminder
