No. they probably dont even give you a spot to bolt it back in (my zzp didnt)

if heat becomes a problem then get some header wrap

You can't put the heat shield back on. I would suggest header wrap tho. Mine is burning the material on my firewall and it smells like ****.

Instead of header wrap, you can try this stuff: Exhaust Coating, Black Satin Header Coating 4 oz - Exhaust Coatings by Tech Line Coatings, Inc.
