no heat shields a problem? When I put dumped exhaust on my car I removed all of the heat shields from the rear of the car, but my exhaust is just too loud so I want to go back to full exhaust. Will it hurt anything if I don't have the heat shields on there (specifically the one under the gas tank)?

The shop I get my work done has run quite a few cars this way, included their own without problems.
Me personally I had my gas tank heat shield removed a week or so after I got my gmmg on (around january of 07'). The banging was becoming a problem. No banging/problems since that was taken off (thanks God) and I drive a lot on AZ roads/heat.
Oh and I go to the dealership for all my maintenance generally and they never mentioned it or said anything negative about it. So I will assume it's OK.
just my .02.

Thanks for the input, I won't have a muffler back there (going w/ a loudmouth style setup) so I really don't think it will get hot enough to do anything.

Your GMMG could have been banging because you didn't slide the pipe in far enough for the over axle pipe. I had the same problem and took it all off got a pipe spreader and slipped the pipe just a bit further and no more banging on the heat shield on the gas tank..
