Alotof people take it off, basically its just there to say, DONT TOUCH ME IM HOT, to prevent people who dont know how hot the exhaust gets from touching it.

Thats not the part I am talking about. You are refering to the heat shield bolted to the stock header. Re-read my post, I am talking about the reflective heat shield (attached inside the tunnel) at the collector area. This keeps the floor board from transfering heat from the exhaust, into the car.

The heat shield on the stock header will not, and is not, designed to fit the Megan Header.

my Megan header did not come with the correct bolts. Fortunately, my friend at the shop had the correct size.

hells yea. high five. thats what i had to do and since we were in my friends shop we did the same thing. i'm probably going to take off that heat shield thats above the collector area. wont hurt anything i suppose.

while looking at the engine in my friends place today the shop manager said my engine was shaking too much and that it looked like my engine was miss firring. but it looked normal to me and if it was miss firring wouldnt it set a code, or wouldnt i feel or hear something as a result of it miss firring?

Those with hardware issues.. were did you order yours from?

I know of knowone from the original Megan GB way back when, reporting any issues. Wondering what's going on over at Megan, or whoever builds these for them. Sucks.
