Do you mean the heat shield? Why do you even want to take it off. If your looking for performance, there's no quick free performance upgrade. You got to spend money to see results.

Everybody calm down, dont assume he is looking for performance straight away. Could be for safety reasons he is asking.

you said he could be wanting to remove it for safety??

removing it is, if anything unsafer...

if things get caught under your car on it and will catch fire in no time at all, ive seen it happen.
