are the heat shields important?

if you dont use the heat shield, the air will be more dense due to heat increase which in turn may cause a drop in boost...but i dont know how much a heat shield does when it comes down to decreasing intake temperatures...but might as well put it back on...wont do any harm

Ok I will definitly put them back on Thanks for all the info,
I have just one more question, do I have to use the sensor in the old 02 housing on the new one.
Im just woundering because the one I bought has a bolt where the sensor would go

well I couldn't get the 02 housing on.
The bolts were on so friging tight I Couldn't get them off with the small 14mm wrench I was using.
but I did manage to get the down pipe and test pipe on, which made the car much louder.
I also noticed a better throtle responce.
I guess I will just have to have someone put it on for me. I just don't have the right tools
and I don't want to take my entire car apart just to replace the 02 housing.
