I've never seen any side effects of taking the heat shielding off.

With the liner removed, the engine noise is louder, and the hood tends to discolor/fade on the passengers side.

And if you have a White S5 or 10thAE, the hood paint tends to flake if the liner is removed.

and RX drift, you need to fix your signature. 6 lines including the picture is the maximum allowed by the admins of the board. If they see it, they can delete it without any additional warning.

I just noticed you had a vert picture in your avaitar.

well if you have a 90 or 91 vert it is not as much of an issue as if you have a coupe. The Verts were painted radically better and with a newer method.
