Exhaust heat shield question

[brian_wagner at sbcglobal.net (Brian Wagner)]

Nothing but rattle traps. Most heat shields are to fields from the high
temps generated by cats. Keeps them from burning the field, I removed all of
them from my 16v and haven't burst into flames yet.

Okay, I was all set to finally rivet this thing in place, but instead 
decided to yank it. Am I seriously gonna overheat anything without it? (If 
so I may just let the puppy cook, cars have not been my friend this evening 
- can you tell it was the "oh so fun to work on" DD before I tore into the 
second victim?)
This is on the 16V, and it still has a cat, not sure how functional it is 
anymore, it went through a "I have a rabid squirrel trapped inside of me" 
phase when the car was running rich, pretty sure it's a bit toasted. It sure

made some wierd noises.

So, do I really have to worry about it? Who's tossed theirs? Did you die?
