Missing heat shield

Missing heat shield
I am switching out my exhaust manifold, and the new one has the heat shield mounting holes(bottom shield near cat) in different locations, so I can't re-use the same shield. Is this part necessary, would I be able to use some heat wrap in the same location to get the same effect? I have read about wrapping a header can cause it to crack, but I'm thinking about just applying it to one side(to protect the radiator and fans)

i'm guessing that you probably got megan racing headers, you can't put your stock heat sheild on aftermarket headers unless you modify it but then if you go back to stock you will be screwed since you have to cut a part of the heat sheild. just leave it alone because it won't harm the car.

and if your getting a smell it might be the rubbing compound or whatever you used to polish the header, whipe it with some alcohol and the smell should be gone, thats what I had to do.

Wow, talk about a threadjack, LOL. Anyways thanks for the input, I ditched the heatshield and had no problems. I wasn't getting any emails that there were responses to this thread, must've been because of the site issues.
