Exclamation heat shield on a resonator ?

Whats up guys,
just trying to figure out on my 95 civic if the heat shield on the top of my resonator is necessary?
only reason im asking is that its coming loose and making a bitch of a rattling sound so i wanted to get rid of it or fix it

just take it off, I'v had all mine taken off..

Most exhaust shops will pull it off for free, or a small fee.

Do you feel it in the shifter? Lol cuz that's what I'm getting.
Hm and about the heat shield, on my old civic and current Integra, all heatshields are taken off.

short shifter bushing? Shifter coming loose? Header shield?(check when cold.)
We check by putting a rag on our hand, and bang the exhuast under the car... idoit proof.
