Should I keep and reinstall my heat shields?

Dear goblin community,

I have three heat shields that have come off my 2.4L NA.

I would love to omit them, but kinda think I should install them in the goblin. What say you?

One goes over the header, one protects the driveshaft, and one protects the rear transmission mount.

Thoughts?

Keep the header one if you are going to use stock header. to cover it up because it is ugly. Lose the other two. Really, just get the ZZP header and sell them all if you can. My 2.4 loves the ZZP header and the 3 inch exhaust!

Since the engine is so open in this build, there really isn't much heat radiation or build up. We don't have any of them on and are running the ZZP Shorty header and there is no heat issue at all. You can stand right over everything, just don't touch them. In the car, they have to do everything they can to keep from heating up everything around but here natural airflow pretty much takes care of it.
