Heat Shields?

Ok, so this might be a dumb question, but I recently bought a 2.5" HKS Super Drager catback exhaust for my 96. I was wondering if I need to put heat shields on it because the pipe runs pretty close to the gas tank.

Thanks,
Nick

Dude you gotta put them on, you'll get like 15 hp and 12 lb-ft of tq by doing it. It'll also b JDM Tyte yo.

Nah seriously, it's preference. If you want to put it on, put it on. If not, it's not gonna matter too much.

ditto for the cat shield, but on longer drives, floorboard drivers side tend to get hot, esp during summer

edit: hey look everyone, its a girl ^^ start thread jack
