Can someone tell if it's okay to let the cat be naked that way? The top shield is fine, BTW. Thanks for any input! 1997 Contour Sport Duratec MTX 2000 Olds Intrigue GLS Sterling Edition

I drove my Miata with no lower cat shield for ages. Then the top one came loose and started rattling, so I snipped the rest of that off too. I never did notice any difference, but then the previous owner had put some sort of thermal foil under the carpet anyway. Just don't park over grass or anything flammable and you'll be OK.

I believe you might have a problem with it heating up the oil pan, and the oil that might be in said pan. Isnt that why people were looking into making a heatshield for the catless Sho-shop Y-pipes??? -Nick "Moore has also accused the American people of being the stupidest, most naive people on the face of the Earth. And after last weekend, he's got the box office numbers to prove it!"

Different heatshield than what is being talked about here.
