2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee - does it really need heat shield?

I’m gonna say you probably don’t need it, unless you do. Fighter pilots don’t need ejection seats until their jet breaks. Then they really need one.

You probably don’t need that heat shield unless something else happens, like you get a gas leak that dribbles over toward the exhaust. But if something like that should happen, you just torched your Jeep and need to buy another vehicle all for want of a mostly-unnecessary part.
