Undercar heat shield removal

[AL92]

I want to take off the undercar heat shields on my 91 auto talon track only 1/4 mile car. I have open downpipe and no cat or catback. Anyone see any problems with taking off the undercar shields?

Only problem I see is rusty bolts. That and rock protection for the gas tank and lines, other than that your good.

Not don't mean any problems with physically removing the heat shields. Can cut them off with cutting wheel or whatever simply wondering if will have say burning problems in the inside of the car. I only idle the car in staging lanes and pits and run 1/4 mile with this car. No street use at all. So no worried about rocks .Would make sure fuel lines are safe.

I have front carpet in the car but no underlay stuff.

I see no problems. PB Blaster and go for it.

They aren't super heavy, thin metal, but every pound counts. Mine have been out so long I don't remember and I don't know where they are either! Get rid of em'!
